Heartbreak

I'm terrified that heartbreak is changing me,
I miss the person I used to be.
I liked who I was when I was with you,
But now, my friends say I'm acting weird.

I assure them I'm fine, that all is well.
This fear that maybe they're right,
That I've become more quiet.

I find myself lost in thought, drifting away,
Without you, I'm silent, with so much to say.
What if my "okay" is different now?
What if without you, I'm somehow
Worse off than before,
Left to ponder who I am at the core?

I cling to thoughts of you, holding tight,
Because after the heartbreak fades from sight,
I'm left wondering what comes next,
Who comes next, and what will be my context.
Who am I without you by my side?
When the memories fade, where do I reside?
