For the longest of time I felt out of place - like a night sky without stars or an ocean without waves; existing but that sparkle that makes things alive missing. My words far away, leaving me empty I let melancholy drown me. It wasn't until this spring that the shadows stepped aside and let happiness enter the hoard of my ribcage. With melancholy still laced around my bones misery will never be a stranger to me but let it be said that my newfound happiness is already loosening up the ribbons of melancholy.
I could say I am back but I can not be sure anyone remembers me. However, it doesn't matter if you know me or not, for I am here sharing my thoughts and words as a changed girl.
Love,
Jessica Alena
I am truly so happy to see you back and to hear of this change for the better. I missed you in your absence. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the imagery of this post is so beautiful! The spring made my own ribbons of melancholy less constricting. (This winter was the harshest I've ever known.)
That's so nice to hear! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! There's always something about spring and also summer that makes melancholy step aside.
This winter was the harshest I've ever known too. Let's hope for a better one this year! :)
I remember you; always. You're unforgettable, J.
