I tore a page
I shed a tear
I bit my lip
I showed my fear
My eyes hurried
My brow flickered
I wondered if this was me
Was it I who wondered?
He was gone
I grew up strong
I believed that lie.
But he never really left me
After he left.
He lingered on
Under my skin
Grew with me
Or didn’t let me grow?
Now I want to know
Is it him?
Or is it me?
