When you left
I became a cartoon character
But instead of the same outfit and hairstyle
I wore the same grim expression
The same tired eyes
The same lack of motivation
You’re long gone now
And I’ve become a secondary character
Flat, one sided
Simply existing beneath everyone else
It’s been one year since you left
And now
I am nothing but the background of a scene
I am still and grey and inanimate
I am behind you.
