The Lease on Eden
<p>I thought I had finally found a place for my soul to rest.</p><p>But out of sheer fear of losing it, I buried it alive.</p><p>I tasted love, and I knew peace, until my own people tore them away.</p><p>Still, I tried to rebuild among the ruins, forgetting that apologies are not medicine for scars.</p><p>In the end, I only damaged us both.</p><p>Now I wander carrying the broken pieces of a beautiful Eden.</p><p>And I cannot heal, because I poured my entire self into its foundation — my strength, my time, my youth.</p><p>For a moment, we spoke the same language of love.</p><p>Just for a moment.</p><p>But my everything was never enough.</p><p>What a cruel awakening: this was never meant to be your home to keep.</p><p>It was only ever rented.</p><p>And now, the lease is up.</p>
