&quot;She left pieces of herself everywhere she went. &#039;It&#039;s easier to feel the sunlight without them,&#039; she said.&quot;<br /> &quot;Even after everything, this world is beautiful.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe&quot;

Oh darling,
I crave memories, like others crave ice cream.
Sometimes I give in, to my insecurities
And lose myself in them.
Drowning in all the pictures of faces
I can’t recall,
And words I wrote so long ago,
But don’t remember writing.
All my thoughts colliding together
In a jumbled mess.
Just trying desperately to escape the fog
That constantly conceals my brain now and to see the light.
To REMEMBER.
