I Would Have Liked To Show You Florence.

I would have liked to show you Florence.

I would have liked to show you where I found myself. Where I became a man. A man I could tolerate. One who would thrive.

I would have liked to show you where I harnessed my skill. Where I perfected my craft. Softening the edges of macabre to be beautiful, palatable, exquisite.

I would have liked to show you the rest of me, the next arc in the story you crave. To see the beginning and the end is incomplete. I want you to see all of me.

I would have liked to show you where I blurred with myself. Where I smudged the harsh lines of my story. The befores and afters coming together. Where I stitched a new suit, a new smile.

I would have liked to show you where I forgave myself. Where I was able to move on. But that didn't happen. It couldn't. Not until a familiar voice called to me in the catacombs. An unforgettable softness among the dead.

I would have liked to show you Florence. Maybe you could have shown me something, too.
