Thank you for sharing this!! Your writing is so deeply introspective and inspiring 🩷 My favourite line is: “But all I ever wanted was you…

not as a pair of hands,

but as a shelter.” Beautiful!! I resonate with your feelings, thank you for articulating them in such an elegant and moving way.

😭😭😭 Wow, this is so beautifully written, especially this line: "you took the last flicker of light from my chest" , he knew all of me too and still he did that, I didn't see it coming but I shattered like I was made of glass

This is so good....way too many fantastic and deeply truthful lines here to repeat....the first one that really spoke to me was "I never loved my body. It was only a house where my ghosts slept." Powerful. You are my 318 bedtime story :)

Too many have lived what you wrote with such a deep cut into the truth. I want to help, soothe and show you something else, but I would be disrespecting the courage it took to create this incredible piece of writing.

'' Maybe you never loved me at all. Maybe you just loved the sound of breaking''—That line cuts deep.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between being loved and just being needed! You capture that ache perfectly—the way some people are drawn not to us, but to the noise our hurt makes.

Thank you for sharing your vulnerability so honestly.

It is a really touching and meaningful poem but why to be sad about what you have lost why not to be happy about the good things or people you have I surelyb think that they truly believe in you so don't just think negativity stay strong and positive for them and the poem was really good keep it up
