All Because I Met You-

I've spent countless hours
<<<suspended into days
-suspended into the infinite.

<I cannot retract this.>

I've given fragments of myself
to the undeserving.
Left with nothing to call my own.
I never questioned it.


My knotted past
is (I am) a tangled mess.
I am an enigmatic being.
 Full of puzzle pieces
that have been crammed
where they don't belong.
The unfitting ; never fitting.

I've been carefully
and diligently
pulling apart:
 piece by piece.

Tattered, torn-
I can see
 each and every  layer
in-between.
So I've begun
to erase memory
of this mismatched visual.

Letting go of fear.

All because I met you.
