Summary
They are supposed to love each other forever. Their vows can stretch around long hours, pointless jobs, two daughters who sharpen their claws on each other's bones. Their love is supposed to be an immortal thing. They are the gods who put the world in order. We are ancient destiny refreshed in new life.
A marriage ends in a tornado of regret and tears our lives apart missing too many pieces ever to be put back the way they were.
The fairy tale certainty I keep high on a shelf falls. I learn it is only made of glass. And down there when I reach out with bleeding hands for the splinters they meet a girl I should know and know I do not. I stand in the moment and see mom and dad kept the myths of our lives real.
Their love is the lie that makes fictions true and now I can't will myself to look away from the truth I find.
