I wore a little black dress today I wore it to school some looked, some stared some complimented I felt nervous in the morning but instead of limiting my choices to the box my anxiety places me in, I broke free I decided it’s okay I know I look good And that’s all that matters

His love His attention I ate it up Never got full Suddenly the endless stream of appetizing words disappeared I felt empty so I now cling to the words he used to say

I craved his words as they held me Instead,  I fell through them Eventually there was nothing left for me I had to leave it But I still think of him Everytime I pass by
