For a whole month, she wouldn’t leave her room, she wouldn’t eat, the whole pack heard her cries, she always had nightmares, and she called out your name. You were never there, so don’t you think you have any claim on her, She might have loved you; she might have obsessed over you, but.I guess you taught her how to live without you. When you weren’t there, I was there for her, ready to pick up the pieces. She only started healing, and yet, here you are, ready to shed her to be pieces once again.
