Shannon

My love, I thought you were the one. I'd grown madly in love with you. I was never happy to leave. To take back my mother's ring. But oh god, leaving. Leaving was the best thing I ever did.

Just like the seasons, love can grow cold overnight. One minute you're basking in the warmth of their embrace and the next, well...youre desperately searching for something. Anything to replace that warmth.

Taking a hopeless romantic and showing them that sometimes love isn't enough, that's a heartbreak they'll never fathom. A heartbreak they'll spend their entire lives getting over.

I opened my heart; the flood gates to my mouth. I’m empty now. You’re drowning in a darkness that isn’t even yours.

I’ve granted the worst people the tightest grip around my heart, and I pay for it every day.
