3 Years

3 years ago I spent today crying in a closet. 
Today I sit on a curb outside of a friend’s house, years trickle down my cheek in a single tear drop. 
3 years ago I was in a strange apartment in a big city that I will never call home. 
Today I’m at a friends house, in a strange city, with people who are home. 
3 years ago I didn’t have friends. Or a home. Just an aching heart. 
That poor little heart holds so many cracks tonight. 
So strong, yet so broken. 
So scared to love, too scared to be alone.
