The Fallen Angel of the Parisian Shadows

Love broke me, but never my heart.

They call me fallen, as if I had a choice in the falling. I loved too well, gave too much, and was left with nothing but the ache of a mother's longing. My hair is gone. My teeth are gone. My body bears the price of a child I no longer hold. But oh — if you could see Cosette's face, just once, you'd know why I did it all. I am not proud, but I am not ashamed. Not entirely.

What I'm Into: Montreuil mornings, a child's laughter in the distance, second-hand coats, the sound of snow on stone, letters never sent
