questions unanswered from
she who used to light up my world

regret and worry, but mostly sadness
nestled down in the hollows of my heart

I put them there
so that I won’t search for what really belongs

afraid of what I will find

and as life goes on around me
I smile and pretend not to notice

that she’s not there
