I separated
What connects back to you and
Put it aside for
When I was ready
To face the reality
That you're really gone
Grieved the void you left
By adding to my body
Count more than I can
Remember their names
Because I just couldn't see
Myself all alone
Somehow I waited
At the same time for you to
Come back and repair
What was damaging
For my soul and tired heart
And you bet I screamed
My lungs out asking
When will I get a break from
My pieces getting
Shattered on repeat
I have lost hope that someone
Would want me around
And as much as my
Healing from your absence hurt
I continue to
Remain standing here
Unapologetic for
How I moved on
