The Hearteners

It has always been the one thing I could never lose no matter how hard I tried. To remove myself from this world completely I had to shed my skin and mourn myself while destroying every physical embodiment of me that has ever existed. But this, this final piece was the hardest to let go of, the most impossible to wish away. Finally, I dropped the last piece of myself and all those I’ve ever loved into the stream with a stifled damning cry.
