"for we could hear the desperate muffled cries

of the love we left all bound, gagged, and hungry."

Thank you so much for reading and for saying so 🖤 Unfortunate indeed 😭 in retrospect I can be grateful for the lessons, but genuinely would rather be alone forever than have another situationship haha…

Those last lines hit close. The way you name empathy and gratitude after all that history—it felt familiar, like a truth I’ve been learning too. Beautiful written.
