“ tonight I am reflecting on the death of the past me. the old me I let die and crumble into burnt ash.
tonight I am reflecting on the me of today. the one that shines a little bit more bright, with a shadow licking the fire beneath her feet. darkness looms, lurking, waiting, and watching.
the demons haunt her in her sleep.
tonight I will try to win the war between two wars; two hearts, two halves of me that make a whole. “
— R.J.L
8.16.25
what if the pain, suffering, broken heart strings were the only way to lead me to you?
a kindred spirit with invisible strings and magnetic fields pulling you closer toward me.
I am the broken one. and you the glue.
with gentle fingers you sew my soul and fix the frayed seams.
sorrow draped my shoulders. you are the wind that whisked it away.
“But losing everybody around me and being the last one left with a beating heart and a roof over my head instead of a coffin covered with dirt changes a person.”

I’d be so lost without these two.
I present to you: my cat.
a good horse is worth a thousand words.
