Ateles fusciceps

My heart shook
as I realized it was me;
I had done this to you.
And there I stood,
heavy breathing.
How vulnerable you looked.
How helpless you were.
I could not protect you
and yet,
I had enabled you to protect yourself.
I saw how progress for me
meant death for you.
Mixed feelings made their way through my skin
as I walked away.
