There was a time,
which I was ripped apart.
I struggled as long as I could,
To prevent this from happening.

Imagine my pain,
A soul ripping in two.
What I didn't consider was you.
You watched and felt pieces of this pain.
For you loved me and part of you was inside me.

I pushed you away,
I didn't know how to fix myself.
I thought space and silence would help cure,
I thought I needed to traverse aimlessly.

It's been almost two years now.
Each day another stitch closes,
And I find myself becoming better.
Like a new butterfly stretching his wings,
Like a snake shedding his skin,
I am free to set a new path.

I walked over you in this process.
My metamorphosis had collateral damage.
I am sorry for not doing this better.
I am sorry for hurting you.
I am sorry.
