Didn’t think letting a child come to harm was a good way to build character
I then realized that child was me, I was the one that was harmed not the fantasy and evil I
thought it was but my own experience I had drawn from
My past
Leaving me to wonder what I really lost me or the plot?
Had my soul been forever changed?
Or had it always been this way? Had growth been expected had it never truly left?
Jigsaw puzzles that didn’t fit into the larger picture. Was this a sign of growth?
My pieces are lost now, I can’t finish my puzzle.
We both sit there, forever incomplete
Theres a beauty in that though isn’t there? Never quite being alone.
Unison with the company of nature
One with my peers in this life
I look at them hand in hand with a tear in my eye
So special, others love, not like my own.
I cant relate to my other half anymore
Perhaps were no longer of the same coin
Were a different currency from head to tail any disagreement becomes our deficit to share.
