To Everyone I've Loved

egg shells

oh the gentle art of peeling back an egg shell

you show the membrane protecting that yolk from the world

gentle with a dull edge, you slowly peel away at the rough shell, that was made to protect you,

and may the world see a soft interior and then what you really are.

you are an egg, my dear, and I am too

you peel back for me, I peel back for you

AN: I've just been stuck watching tiktok lives of people peeling eggs lately
