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.

Metamorphosis
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.
