It took me a moment
to find my calm.
I’m sorry, Babe.
I got lost along the way.
I tried so hard,
but there are things
in my past
that kept dragging me back
and I
didn’t know how to let go.
I was afraid
of the fire
that was in my way.
The thing that I had
to face,
the only escape,
was to go through it.
I’m here now,
almost through,
and I can see you
waiting for me
on the other side
for the rest of time.
