i am beautiful.
i am strong.
is what they tell me,
to make me feel better.

in reality i am,
none of those things.
i cry at night,
while your voice echos.

your silhouette in the corner.
your smell in my sheets.
but i cry because,
that smell will fade.

those voices will lower,
and soon be gone.

just like you.
