maybe it is the way
you always said
my name that
made me feel special
and not like everyone else
or the way
you looked
at me so softly
i would melt
at any command
maybe it is the way
you held me
that always made
me feel safe
at home
but my mind
says you are
no longer that
home i will
come to for safety
i will no longer
melt at your
every command
and i will start
to feel just
like everyone else
you have left.
