i've wandered and wandered
didn't reach out
to the helping hands
that extended to me
so graciously
because they always
betrayed me
they always
took what they needed
and left without a trace
i was angry
hardened by the world's harshness
there was a fragment
stuck in my heart
the tissue was scarred
but it didn't hurt
i lied
i'm used to being alone
i lied again
but then you appeared
you who have abandoned me
who have forsaken me
why are you here
i growled
you said softly
i'm sorry
sorry will never be enough
i hissed
i know and that is because
i am you
you are me
i was a fool
back then
exiled you to teach
when you all you needed
was patience
you've endured more than enough
it's getting cold
come back home, will you?
it's been awhile
we dropped to our knees
we let down those walls
once again
we are exposed
we said
i'm home
