Chapter 4 of 23

Into the Abyss

Ruins of What They Took From Me63 words~1 min read

I've chased love like a starving man,

thinking it would fill my empty spaces,

but all it's ever done is carve deeper.

You called me your salvation,

but I drowned in your absence—

now I can't remember who I was before

the wreckage you left inside me.

I run, I fall,

because stopping means facing the nothing

I've been hiding from all along.
