– Shrapnel in the Soul –
The self indulgence
of my harsher words
has once again left us broken.
Like shrapnel in the soul,
that broken piece of me
will always remain within you.
After my light has gone out,
you will live on in the world.
You will be stronger
than you have ever been.
You will learn to love again,
learn to be loved again,
and perhaps if the world is kinder,
you may even learn to love yourself.
