ripping off the bandage isn't the hard part

it's the beginning

so let's start with the goodbyes and work our way backwards

until my rendered soul

is whole again

and the echoes of my past

have stopped haunting my future

is a life of pain all i'm allowed to have?

sad poetry

About the Creator

Maia Gadwall the metAlchemist

I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. Then, I went crazy and started a cult called metAlchemy, or meta alchemy. I revere energy of all brands, esp. good, kind chaos.
