sometimes
                                          she woke                                        
up

only to see
    p, i, e, c, e, s
of
someone
whom
she
no longer
felt herself
with.

days were
hard
nights longer.

she fell asleep
again after
so
long

to a place
where she
was

found ||
|| accepted
happy ||

sometimes
she dreamt
of

what would have
happened
if she
stayed?

pretending
who she
never
e v e r
was.
