Ouch, on both counts. These were great!

Thank you! 💕 I'll admit I almost tore up when I was writing the second one.

Utterly wrenching and gorgeous -- two snippets from the second one in particular caught at me:

why do you raise your arms
as if waiting for a hug
just to put them down
as if you were burying them

and why is your name made of sounds
I know
I think
I feel
I dream
I chose for a heart I carried in mine.

Just...haunting. You write this delirium-fog state so achingly well.

Thank you ♥. The second one got me teary! I don't know what it is about the Longbottoms that I can't let go.
