Anatomy of a skeleton
Skull - crushed under the weight of memories that refused to disappear. It wept quietly, remembering even what the mind had forgotten. A witness to the haunted past and a ruin of the body it once belonged to.
Jaw - cracked and destroyed in the effort to contain love. It held all the confessions on its edge until the constant pressure twisted it in a gruesome way.
Ribs - meant to protect the heart but it acts like an empty cage now. It is filled with all the unsaid apologies and regret, where each inhale is a reminder of what the body has been and what it will always be.
Hands - that never learned to carry love on their palms and always mistook betrayal from people for kindness and violence as love.
Feet - blistered from running the entire life, always toward the path of destruction. They knew nothing other than the touch of scorching fire beneath them.
