alone.

you think these tears are being wasted on you;
they're not.

she's gone.

pretty.

lovely.

astounding.

i loved her.

she's gone.

i'm alone and on my own now.

you want me to be strong,

but i was just a girl,

searching for a place in this world,

learning, living, and growing.

you left before you could tell me what else i need to know

you left me.

& now the world is a mystery. . .

i'm lost -

and alone.
