Heart and head in a fight

Story

Letting go

The storm was getting heavy,

but there was something more dynamic.

It was above me,

but I could not see it.

A cozy shadow

that did not even need the sun to appear.


If I feel you but cannot see you,

why am I stuck in this book filled with endless pages?


Am I asking for too much?

Maybe I should have been more grateful.

Maybe I should have helped, loved, and spread more kindness.


Or maybe I should stop complaining.

Stop repeating the pages over and over again,

but what if I drown in my next chapter?


Oh, my love, and what if you heal?

The sooner you leave the old chapters behind,

the sooner you will heal.



Heart and head in a fight

I see the stars in the sky, and they remind me of your words about life.

The life you spoke of is something I could never imagine.

It is not something I usually hear, but something I used to dream about.

The feeling of being untroubled by a gray house, a place where people learn to be themselves again and not a hungry monster to be afraid of.


And the only thing that stops me is my fear of ending it again.
