The Remnants of Us

A haunting reflection on love that was never built to last. This piece follows a narrator who gave their whole heart to someone who could never hold it, watching their own world dim while still trying to save a person already lost in their own darkness. It's a quiet unraveling a confession of hope, hurt, and the ache of wanting to be seen. Through vivid imagery of light, smoke, storms, and drifting stars, the story reveals a painful truth: love cannot heal what refuses to be found, and sometimes the bravest thing is admitting that trying to save someone else nearly broke you in the process.
