The Blood & The Bones

From the blog….

•

Nothing I’ve ever finally let go of, escaped without the impression of my hands dug deep into its surface, my fingernails in its skin.

I hold on too long. I fight too hard. Forever trying to salvage, to find the good, usable pieces in the piles of rubble that was love. Even when the weight of it is crushing me.

And you are no exception. My grip holding tightly onto what was once us. The marks left will never fully fade. Faint reminders stubbornly remain. I will be with you, as you are with me, in some way, always. But now, you can’t hurt me. At least not in the same ways as before.

It took me a long time to realize holding on to what wants to be let go of hurts far more than the loss of it..
