The real estate agent called your old room "clutter that needs to be cleared." But to me, packing your clothes into cardboard boxes felt like dismembering my own body.
I threw away the expired medications, but I kept your half-used bar of soap because it still holds the faint print of your palm and the exact smell of your skin. It is brutal how a person's entire lifetime of love can be reduced to four cardboard boxes sitting on a cold floor. The world sees trash; I see the ruins of the only kingdom where I was ever completely safe. I sat among the empty boxes today and cried until no sound came out. 📦🥀
