A love poem to all my parts. I love you & I Can Carry You Now 🕊️🤍🤲✨

I call every piece of my severed soul back to me now.

The pieces laying in tears at the feet of my mother/father

Come

The pieces laying in blood spilling over the palms of unfit lovers

Come

The pieces buried low in the Atlantic

Waiting to be uncovered

Come

I can carry you now

- Ankhet Rumi
