“Don't you do that.
Don't you look at what I had for you and call it weak.
Not when you were the one afraid of it.

like being moved to my knees by love
was a mistake that I regret.
I will go to my grave with the memory of the bravery in my bones.”

“Oh what we could be
if we stopped
carrying the remains
