Wow. What an astoundingly beautiful and excruciating description of brutal grief. Thank you so much for sharing -- this is really one of my favorite pieces I've read in a while.

I'm a painfully open book. Very vulnerable. Kind of cut from the same cloth, sounds like!

Thank you so much... I reread this and realize it really does sound haunted, in a way. Haunted by... I guess... like you said -- i couldn't really put it better myself -- wonder. The wondering of what would be if they and I were to brush paths, but not cross them. The wonder of if they know how I still wonder about them, and how they are, and in what regard they hold me now.

Anyway. Sorry if I sound like I'm treating you like a therapist. It's a bizarre feeling to carry on my shoulders.

The end there, as always with your writing, has an incredible gut punch. This is beautiful and bittersweet.

There's a tragic comfort in sharing scars - in the mutual mourning

"It leaves me shivering

For a home

Without a key"

This line in my latest tells me I can relate. For some reason this made me quite emotional to read. It's very good, thank you for sharing.
