so close

So close to a year
Three weeks and it's here
I'm not the person you left behind
Gained 30 pounds
Cut my hair
Many more changes than just physical
Some right down to my soul.

My heart may have healed
But some parts of that day
Will never disappear
Hearing those words
Talking to your brother
So close to a year and I remember
Both of those.

I became mean
I was angry
That one of the people I loved most left me
Without a goodbye
Without a word
It was much more
Than I could ever take
It took all of my strength
To come out of my hole
Get help and start over.

I still struggle
Still have bad days
So close.
But yet so far away.
