For you I am sonnets and stars
Initials carved into tree trunks
Seeds planted in soft soil
For you I am prologues
And plane tickets
❀
For you I have sanded back my sharp edges
And filed my fangs
For you I have poured the poison down the sink (and only drunk medicine)
For you I have buried the blades
And banished the creatures beneath my bed
❀
To them I may be the darkness
But for you I will always
Be the constellations

Always the best option! “For you I have poured the poison down the sink (and only drunk medicine)”
I take it you're not talking to me. But kudos to whomever you are speaking!
This is poignant and heartfelt reflection of a love story, sad and broken
