“It's hard to let go anything we love. We live in a world which teaches us to clutch. But when we clutch we're left with a fistful of ashes.” <br /> ― Madeleine L'Engle, A Ring of Endless Light

Love isn't a word that applies to me

When the monsters inside leave me breathless so I can't speak

You saw my monsters and you held me closer

But now you're broken and your love won't carry over

My sharp edges cut you to bits

And now no matter where you go you never seem to fit

I want to say I'm sorry but I lost my chance to speak

When you drowned me in your tears

In this bed you made a creek
