Caught between your love and a quarantine

I should’ve listened to my intuitions.

I should’ve taken those red flags into a consideration.

I should’ve been kinder and smarter.

I should’ve never taken your love for granted.

Now that my isolation is benefitting you, I’m broken.

Maybe I thought you were just another parent who would forgive me

for being a jerk every single time.

Please do not forget me

and I hope it’s not too late now.

I’m sorry for being ignorant,

I can still catch up for what I missed out all this time.

I fed on all your vital essence and discarded you

but promise I’m not a vampire.

A selfish me,

forgot the fact that you kept spinning all day so I could survive every day.

I’m forever grateful for your revolution.

I get it.. you’re happy and breathing fine without me.

If I survive this quarantine, I swear I’ll celebrate you.

For you, a thousand times over.

I will make the world a better place for you.

I love you, you mean everything to me

and you are mother earth for real.
