your hair, eyes, and smile – like the sun gleaming on my shadowed soul, begging me to come out into the light. Yet, I resisted you. I tugged on your warm hand like frayed rope at field day, and you let go just before I pulled you with me into my hollowed ribcage. Strings were snapping everywhere, and without you, I fell – I cracked right open. Everything I sought to hide was spilling out of my shell, but all the King’s men paid no mind. I dug this grave myself.
