Now that you're back

You have left me

a

lone

and

while

alone

I faced the music

I listened

for the first time

to the lyrics

that hit so close to home

and inspired

me

made me smile

again

made me laugh

made me aware

that there is life

after you

as there was

before you.

now you are back with your confident smile—

                                                                                        ----but I have my own now.

Thank you.
