Not to sound hysterical but I think that That One friend flying over and cuddling with me platonically would fix me

To the groom, yours truly wilted ponders away (an answering letter to "at my funeral there will be no flowers")
Your story reminded me of a wedding.
There was no bride with a pristine white dress and a loving smile, or a future ahead of her. Only thing she had was a boquet of flowers and not written letters with thoughts left unspoken.
She wasn't brave enough to write them.
They left her buried in them. They're not the warm soil you spoke about but set on fire they did burn the body quite well.
She hopes to be scattered somewhere, content.
She was wearing a grey sweatshirt replacing the dress, clearly a hand-me-down from the cheesy line printed on the front. It suited her worn-down eyes, they needed rest from her own reeling head, she thought about it over and over again, just let her burn the letters please-
...
Her eyes wondered to the boquet. Forest flowers carefully picked out with damaged leaves sticking out of the holes of a plastic bag that she saved from grocery shopping with colorful splashes of green and red and a name of a supermarket.
She imagined it as herself.
She had no idea what were the wild flowers that she picked, they did not look pretty, blossoms small, they couldn't grow more because of the harsh environment(they weren't beaten by sticks and stones, but toxic water is just as devastating), leaves damaged from catterpillars and wind slashing into them everytime they took a breath.
Her blistered hand, clearly from the poison of the petals that already soaked in, covering the holes in the bag keeping it together.
They did not choose to grow up in that forest.
She pitied them, wheter she wanted to or not.
Maybe that was her flood, her grief, her regret.
And maybe this is not the answer to your letter because there was no question, there was no groom, and now there is no bride and her existence is made of the fact that the letters are burned and the boquet is not pretty and they're both dead.

The incessant want to rip myself to shreds and piece them back together in a way that feels right.
