Now it's not what Poe did that doesn't let him sleep, it's what he meant. It's what they could've become through each other that keeps Edgar awake. What he could've done for Poe if he’d allowed it. What Poe could've taught him if he'd listened.
What Poe's very existence screamed in silence to him every moment they shared together. What Poe made impossible for him to ignore and what he repeated back to Poe with a bitter tone, feeling raw. Too seen.
Why couldn't you just be what you were meant to be?
