One by one she slew her fears, and then planted a flower garden over their graves.
The self-righteous scream judgments against others to hide the noise of skeletons dancing in their own closets.
She is a wild, tangled forest with temples and treasures concealed within.
The way our fingers intertwine feels so natural and right; as if our hands hold memories of meeting in a thousand other lifetimes.
