Aurora 2026

Emma Tomey

Utterly diminished.

It was almost like I had just been ripped out of my home,

The one that was perfectly curated and comfortable,

The home that I believed I would always have even throughout the worst times,

That one home, the person I threw myself into and lost myself in the end to.

He, that man I was so in love with, left so quickly and without a word locked me in.

A huge hole in my heart began to erupt,

As the person who I felt was my everything completely uprooted me from my safe space.

The person who I trusted with my life,

Completely threw me and that room away without regard for how I was stuck.

Stuck in him.
