The day you last left

My strength shone through

I found my confidence

It was hiding behind you

I found light in myself

The day you disappeared

It helped me to see

It was you that I feared

Days turned to weeks

I was doing so well

Until you resurfaced

And I crawled into my shell

Why were you here?

Why did you come back?

I was better without you

You’ve thrown me off track

I climb out my shell

To myself I’ll stay true

You’ve come back to me

But I no longer need you
