Lost

When you left, you took a piece of my heart

When you left, my whole world came tumbling down

I became so lost

I was left in the dark

You took with you my light 

When you left, I learned to fight

I learned to navigate this world without you by my side

I learned to be strong to no longer rely on your love

You thought I was weak,

For feeling too much

Now, you're the one roaming the world lost 

The story has turned around

And I watch quietly, 

Waiting, patiently, for you to admit that you were wrong

For you to see that I was strong 

For you to open your eyes 

Until then I continue to move forward no longer scared,anxious, and lost

But confident, beautiful, and stronger than I ever was
