Everything is a Reminder

It’s ridiculous, really—  
how the smallest things  
carry your fingerprints.  

A song in a store.  
A phrase someone says.  
A color I wasn’t even looking at.  

It all circles back to you.  
Like the world is conspiring  
to keep your memory alive  
even when I’m trying to let it rest.  

I didn’t know missing someone  
could feel like being haunted  
by things that never meant to hurt me.

R̶e̶d̶ Green Flags

Everyone warns you about the monsters,   but no one prepares you   for the gentleness that feels like a trap.   The patience.   The steadiness.   The way someone’s kindness   can feel like a foreign language   you were never taught to speak.   Green flags are dangerous   when you’ve lived your life   memorizing storms.   You start waiting for the lightning,   the shift in the air,   the inevitable collapse —   because peace feels suspicious   when chaos raised you.   Sometimes the safest person you meet   is the one who terrifies you the most,   because they don’t flinch   when you show them your fractures.   They don’t weaponize your softness.   They don’t ask you to shrink   to fit inside their comfort.   And suddenly you’re standing   in a field of...

No memory from anyone else. But she remembered the name. Wrote it down. Kept it hidden. Weeks later, the paper was blank. Except for one small mark in the corner— A symbol she didn’t draw. A quiet acknowledgment: Handled. -LR 🖤

Who Prays For Satan?

Who prays for Satan   when the fire goes out   and the throne of ash   feels too heavy to sit on? Who prays for the one   everyone curses   but no one listens to—   the one who carries the blame   so the rest of us   don’t have to? Who prays for the fallen thing   that wasn’t born wicked,   just tired,   just angry,   just unheard? Who prays for the creature   who holds the world’s shadows   so we can pretend   we’re made of light? Who prays for the exile   when the silence gets loud,   when the crown of thorns   starts to feel like a noose,   when even the darkness   turns its face away? Who prays for the one   who was never allowed   to be forgiven? Maybe no one. Maybe that’s the tragedy. Maybe that’s why the flames burn—   not for punishment,   but...
