Oh, Darling

Oh, Darling,

Don’t you know I’ve been through worse—as you spread your lies, hoping to exploit a storm for your own benefit?

Don’t fool yourself as you watch lightning strike my bones, setting fire to my soul—your nefarious smile enjoying the chaos of my life, all because I found a love you so carelessly took for granted.

Don’t get too comfortable watching my branches bend and break as the treacherous winds threaten to uproot my mind.

Don’t pretend you weren’t hoping I’d lose myself in the downpour, forgetting what brought me here. Did you think my broken limbs and shattered pieces would send me back to the depths of darkness so you could steal my light?

Did you forget—storms are necessary?

Don’t avert your eyes now, as I replenish my heart and nourish my soul.

I see you standing there, waiting for surrender in the chaos. But didn’t you know…

Oh, darling,
