I almost said
To the one I hold most dearly
To the one who healed my wounds
To the one who lifted my feet above the waters
To the one whom I should have thanked more
I am sorry
My wrongdoings
My corroded thoughts
My abhorrent views and self-reflections
Most importantly, your trust
I destroyed it all
Is what I should have said before the hourglass ran out of sand
and I ran out of time
