nikki. this was for you.

choking on the ashes of my own bad decisions.
lost loves.
preaching to you
the shattered pieces he left
your life in shambles
wet cheeks and bloodshot eyes
hurt bestowed.
all proof.
you are stronger than this
stronger than the past
your regrets
only to become wiser
never to be broken
can no longer be let down
no longer half a person.
trust.
you are whole.



These fragments were found in an old sketchbook. I had written it just before Elisabeth was born. Who knew you would figure this all out on your own? I will FOREVER love and appreciate the girls and you.
