Untitled.

Thinking

Like the air flowing

Through trees

You passed me by

You left my side

I swear I tried.

You left me to deal

With my fear, dear.

Afraid I was to

Abandon the person I was,

Afraid to see the

Person I’d become

Afraid to wander

Alone, without you.

But I will manage

I know I will,

So I sit here still,

Thinking.
