“And I knew her soul wasn’t something to take lightly. In a world where very little truth existed, her soul was a pariah, standing alone burning like a wildfire in my bones– a flaming crescent across pale midnight skies.”

I want to take my pain and bend it into a halo.
I can hang it above my head and wear it like an angel whose page has been ripped from the bible,
And I would take its shredded wings and fly over the sun,
over the moon,
over the stars,
and into the black hole that whispered my name.
