I crave to keep her protected, shielding her from the cruelty of the world, and of that, that she doesn’t deserve. My deepest desire, is the extinguishing of the flames, removing her from the ashes and ensuring she never feels those flames of remembrance, but instead, my safe my embrace.

Beauty cannot describe you. You are the rare  combination of the perfection and yet broken. The flawless piece of mosaic, held  together by broken memories, broken promises and a broken soul. Creating a final masterpiece of perfection, perfected by its imperfections.

Natural disaster. A metaphor for you. Coming in, lifting, removing everything from its original state, reconstructing it the way you desire. to your benefit or detriment. You enter a field of green, at your own pace, slow, to cause destruction, fast, to cause confusion on whether you were there at all. The only proof of your arrival is the destruction in your wake. Unaware of your strength, your misconception of gentle, entering hesitantly, cautious , your fear of hurting others, afraid to let them feel the pain you've felt,  it's not the pain you cause, it's the fear your create in those who have experienced a disaster before, never one like you.
