Epitaph

I am the monster of many parts. 
l found it easier to walk the path
Than to listen to it described. 
I could not share my soul, 
So I set it alight to brighten your way.
Behind I leave my failures, my sin,
And a vastness of emotion.
Know that I loved much and deeply, 
And saw it grow to maturity.
