What if

 

What if the reason why all the love I’ve known has failed is because I continue dragging people into places meant only for me?

It’s grown difficult to give myself to others. Maybe there’s less to give.

Or,

maybe I’m just keeping more to myself now. I’ve lost count of how many worst-case scenarios I’ve already survived.

Now there’s not one thing anyone can tell me that’s more vicious

than the things I’ve told myself.

I’ve been abandoned at the ends of the earth

I went to for others.

Maybe all along I should’ve been carving out a space of my own.

Building myself a comfortable home to keep warm within.

Somewhere safe,

where only my dreams stir me awake, and everything I find beautiful haunts me.

What if the reason for this season is that I might finally give myself everything you never could?
