Here in the haunted hallows of the romantic woods, there are year-old deer bones scattered among the grass. Here, the wind stirs the rough bark of sleepy elms, groaning softly as they slip past one another. And it is here where you disappeared 7 years ago, leaving me to chase after your long forgotten ghost. Every morning I come to this spot, and every morning I tell myself “this is the last morning”. Yet, here I am again, making my way through bones and bricks and branches betwixt skeleton leaves, dreaming of ghost deers and untangling my limbs from spiderwebs that leave invisible threads dangling in my hair, catching light in the sun and making me feel a lot older than I really am. Then again, a lot of time has passed hasn’t it? Enough time to heal a broken heart for sure. But then, why am I still searching for your grave?

  2. This is so beautiful. It reminded me of this:

    "It’s said it takes seven years
    to grow completely new skin cells.

    To think, this year I will grow
    into a body you never will

    have touched."

    1. Oh this is fantastic - it fits perfectly with my mood when I was writing this. I must look this poet up!

  3. In my experience, broken hearts rarely know time. They heal when they heal. Perhaps there will never be a "last morning." That's ok too. Our bodies, our hearts, know what they need.

    1. There probably wasn't meant to be a last morning, but one tends to keep telling oneself that someday it'll stop.

  4. Oh my. This is gorgeous <3 And this feeling is definitely familiar to me.. Unfortunately, time can't heal every wound.

    1. I too love the combination of photos and words. Alone, they often don't seem like enough. The pictures tell a story, but I always need a little more, which is where the words come in.

  7. This is so emotive. Time can sometimes heal a wound, but it won't necessarily make you forgetting. Haunting, how it does that.

    1. Exactly. Time dulls the pain, but it only takes an instance to bring it back?

  9. I can't explain how much I'm in love with the second photo. And all the pictures goes with the emotion of your writing so well.

  12. That moon is just absolutely breathtaking. Broken hearts are harder to heal than broken bones.

    1. Glad you like it - it's actually a mashup of two separate photographs. And I agree.

  14. These pictures already had created a dark, mysterious atmosphere but the text added something incredibly beautiful. Very emotional, and it talks a lot to me (unfortunately).

    1. I think everyone feels like this sometime, heartbreak and missing, but I like to transform something sad into something beautiful. I am glad you enjoyed them.

  15. After your comment telling me you somewhat crave film, I imagined the second photo--the creek and fog--in it. It would be dreamy and perfect. Do it. :)
