Dear shark,
I loved you.
How could I not?
Your eyes as blue as the sky,
Or as dark as the ocean during a storm.
The broken edges of our hearts matched.
But mine continued to erode,
Until we matched no more.
I think you panicked.
Tried desperately to bind me.
Emotionally, physically.
You tied my wrists and locked me up.
I know because you love me.
And sometimes we were good.
Sometimes we just were.
Sometimes, I put my ear to your heart,
And just listened to it beat.
I knew it beat for me.
I loved the woosh of your breath from your lungs.
But I scared you.
I was only part there.
And you held me tightly,
To prove to yourself I was real.
You held nothing back,
Like a hurricane,
Like a storm,
You tore through my soul.
You were the kind of man to love a woman forever.
I wasn't capable of happiness.
Of making you happy.
So I ran.
I'm sorry.
I made you the monster you are.
I'm sorry,
I destroyed the boy who shone like the sun.
I made you as bitter as me.
