Poetic short story (a blend of prose-poetry + narrative fiction)
Sometimes, we as humans, find ourselves holding onto people or moments that truly anchor us down. Sometimes we search for the tiniest bits of beauty because we don’t want to see the bad. Sometimes our minds paint pictures of what they could be, of what could be, of what life could be if one little thing was different. One, little thing. The unhealthy relationship. The toxic soul tie.
She saw beauty in his darkness—a butterfly in the rubble—and believed love could fix what pain had buried. But he wore his wounds like armor, peeling away every gentle thing she offered, one butterfly at a time. Told like a secret never meant to be shared, this is a story for anyone who’s ever clung to someone while losing themselves… for those who tried to stitch together someone else’s soul while their own quietly came undone.
