A Poem
-
What is now left to save?
I’m like a wound to you, aren’t I?
Something you pay attention to for the first few days gently tending to it.
But as time goes on, you forget and the wound fades.
I may have left a scar on your heart.
But did you think about mine?
Such pain birthed from such love.
Did you ever think it was love, though?
Do you feel the pain now, then?
All these raindrops together at once can cause floods,
But nothing when it’s just one drop.
Every step is a culmination of all the ones that came before.
You walk a path as treacherous as it is safe.
Do not forget me as you fall from your ways.
When you take the wrong lane and end up somewhere else.
Come back,
Look forward.
Go away.
Far from your comfort zone because how else will you learn?
