I am a butterfly in my chrysalis

      For three years you fed me

            gave me life

                  gave me strength

                        gave me love.

      I thought you would sustain me

            keep me safe

                  keep me whole

                        keep me loved.

      You were my everything

            my joy

                  my strength

                        my love.

I am a butterfly in my chrysalis

      All of me that is you is dissolving

            is changing

                  is shifting

                        is becoming something new.

    I am gone.

    I am reborn anew.
