Dear Caterpillar

Dear Caterpillar

You consume me

For plenty times

I've faded away

Long as it fills you

I am but content

I’m just holes, bruises

Yet everything is yours

I have no reservations

But came your seclusion

By the very threads

You yourself have sewn

I let you hang on to me

Your last attempt to stay

and I cherished every moment

Carefully Watched over you

My pupae, won't let you sway

But as your metamorphosis dawn

and when it finally came

and you flew to the horizon

Away the tree of our lives

I have long surrendered hope

For any real chance to catch up

Should I cut myself off?

Submit to uncertain wind waves?

Hoping to magically float towards

The direction where you flown?

I am almost tempted to fall

To chase after your new found wings

But no delusions, nothing I can do

Will ever make me colorful as flower

We are just not meant anymore

So I decided to remain grafted

Embracing the roots that nourished me

Having faith, even without you

I'll be made whole again
