I wonder how many layers I had to peel
Off you- each layer representing a different part
Of your soul.
We're so complicated, aren't we?
So flawed and impressionable,
Fire at the merest provocation...
We're so selfish.
I wish I could bring you back
From the darkness into which I pushed you.
I didn't mean to
I didn't mean for you to be the chalice
For my deformities, my storms
And yet, I didn't stop you
When you became one.
