This is a beautiful poem that sums up a lot of how I've been feeling lately, mourning who I might have been, had everything not changed so suddenly. I've been writing a lot of poetry about that lately, especially in regards to chronic illness.

So beautiful. This stanza in particular stabbed my lil heart in the best way:

there is always a little gap

where the truth gets out

where the old pain

keeps breathing
