Here I am, as I am
Nostalgia grips me like life
Clinging to me like a jacket too small
Leaning onto me, just the way I've always been
Pieces of the broken glass you left behind
Fragile as I was, naive as I've been
Touched without being touched
Love in the midst of no love at all
Leave me in the pool of my tears
Watch me run, slender and slim
Scratching too hard in the paper as I write
Sniffing too loudly as my tears spill
Remembering the face that was never there
The voice that I never heard
Oh how you fixed & destroyed
Left the words of your own story all over
I really owe you nothing at all
yet I still wonder...if you're okay...
