#ouch oof

so sean called imora a fool for falling in love with poet+being a mother to their kid

they tackled him when he talked shit about imora

but poet didn't even get pissed when Sean talked shit but um

"Maybe the both of us were fools, but don't bring Olivia into this."

"Imora already had a hard time because of them, the poor girl has nothing to do with this situation. She has Poet's genes and that's about it."

I pick you up babybird with broken wing kitten starving for milk pathetic creature left alone

i bring you home and warm you hold you to my breast like I can teach you what HOME means cradle you and tell you I know It Was Never Okay You Do Not Have to Be Okay

you tears flow and flow and flow and I am afraid we will drown I cling to you like a life raft you pour out the poison in your wound

we weather it together, gasping for breath above the tears like each one will be the last each sob smashes us upon the rocks and I fold myself around you you will not hurt again

you try to fight me to break away this is too painful no, my dear, my love, my only, I say to you sweet thing

you are no monster you are no toxin come to ruin no miasma sneaking your way into the lungs and homes of people to kill them in the night

you were never such a thing your milkteeth could not have cut them as they say they did you had no claws yet so how could you maim?

I love you I love you I love you I scream over the howling wind of our pain I will keep trying I will get better I will keep trying even if it kills me

even if I kill you you ask voice small and harsh and I say yes even if you kill me I will still love you I will still care for you I will come back a thousand thousand times for you you were always enough

and your sobs are eternal and they are unending and they are already done and passing I see the lighthouse above the waves and I hold you ever closer well done I say well done you did so well

and thank you for holding the flood long enough for me to take my first breath I love you I love you I love you

it was never your burden to bear you were never a sinner and never a sin

you are the joy of creation and the pride of the universe your breath is a revolution and your scars are a story

we lay together on the shore you lay on my chest I brush your sea-salt sorrow from you I kiss you hello I kiss you goodnight
