“And I knew her soul wasn’t something to take lightly. In a world where very little truth existed, her soul was a pariah, standing alone burning like a wildfire in my bones– a flaming crescent across pale midnight skies.”

Christopher Poindexter


How long have you carried around that empty cage in your chest?
How long have you heard its sorrowful rattles echo through your decaying body?
How long has it been since you decided to open its door and let the bird escape through?
And how long has it been since you decided to let go of the only thing that was alive in that empty vessel of yours?
