When it’s dark. When it’s hopeless. I’m watching you through a paned glass. Flying paper planes of hope, floating messages in a bottle. But nothing is getting through.
I see your broken self.
I see your loss and pain.
I see your fear.
I see you.
But you don’t see me.
It’s difficult to touch that space within me that you are now standing in. That space where I too was broken, alone and lost.
That place where days of tears flooded my bed spread. And butterflies in the tummy turned into aches of hunger. Where sleepless nights had me looking like death, a single text could have me huddled on the floor. People scared me. Sunlight scared me. Life scared me.
What scares me now. Is only that place. That hopelessness. The loneliness.
What I wanted so badly.
Was it to stop. The pain. The chest tightness. The breathlessness. The physicality of my uncoiled emotions; of my untangled thoughts.
I can’t be your saviour right now – and I’m not sure I want to.
I need for the sun to break on you. I need you to be in this growth knowing this will pass. Have faith. Trust in me.
My complications arise when I witness your pain. Wanting to protect your brokenness and hold your hurt but the witnessing of your transformation would be denied.
Break your armour.
Lose your mind.
Crumble your heart.
Once you are nothing but a shattered mess of existence scattered on life’s floor – that is where peace enters.
Where self is discovered.
That… is where life begins.
My dear friend. That is where you pick up the pieces, the people and the places that hold significance.
This is where you stare at the same girl you’ve seen for the last 31 years and find a sense of home. A sense of contentment and beyond what you can imagine right now a sense of love. For her, for the sunshine you once feared and for this life you once resented.
That is when it fades. The doubt. The hurt and the hopelessness.
Let me love you through your transformation. And be brave enough to endure the pain. You are not sinking solo on this journey my love, just learning to fly freely to wherever you need to be.
From your soul sister thats been souless.
