The Fabric of Our Souls

by K.M. Moronova

I’m burning inside, and it hurts. I just want to stop hurting.

“You let me know and I’ll hold you until the darkness fades.”

“No one looks at me like you do, Wynn. When you look at me, I feel like I can shatter into a thousand birds and just… fly. You set my soul free from the chains I keep wrapped around my shoulders.”

I was born with a bad heart—literally and figuratively. But you gave your heart to me, and because of you, I will live. Because of you, I will never take my life for granted ever again.

I’ve learned to forgive myself. I’ve learned to love me.
