I tell myself that I belong in the sunlight with all the beautiful things but I cannot outgrow my suffering.

I cannot hold love without destroying it piece by piece and I cannot deny the relief I feel when it goes.

I am nothing without my sorrow.

I am at home in the wreckage, I belong to the messes I've made.
I am at peace when memories fade and the ghosts return to their graves.

I am not someone to save because I have folded in my hands and have fallen to my knees.

Please understand there is no fight left in me.

I tell myself I belong in the sunlight with all the beautiful things, but I am not at home in the blooms of spring.

I am their loss, I belong to the wilting.
