Quote by Kate Elizabeth Russell

“What girl would want what he did to me? But it’s the truth, whether anyone believes it or not. Driven toward it, toward him, I was the kind of girl that isn’t supposed to exist: one eager to hurl herself into the path of a pedophile”

“I gave you water every day, Sunshine songs, a cozy clay. You stretched your leaves so wide and fair— I thought you knew how much I cared. But puddles grew where roots should breathe, Your stem turned soft, a silent plea. One leaf dropped, then two, then three— My love drowned you, and now I see. You were my friend in that bright room, A green hello that fought the gloom. I didn’t mean to steal your light, Just wanted to hold your petals tight. Now your pot sits empty, small, Dirt stained with tears I let fall. Sometimes love pours like a storm— Too much warmth can break what’s warm.”
