Footsteps
He left footsteps
On maroon heart
Pickled my breath
Left me teal tart
A shadow of self
Onyx eyes now dark
Casting my cares
Left stoic torn apart
Let me wallow in my pain
I avoid sun and embrace rain
For without one the other is vain
This too shall pass but I remain
Stuck in a lesson learned too well
Burned in my brain like fire from hell
Give me some time I’m sure to unpack
Reorganize my mind get my groove back
