Coming Back

Summer days and dark blue nights,

We had it all,

the earth and sky,

And the everything in between,

Love to you meant making me feel safe,

Love to me meant bringing you peace,


Our hearts intertwined,

Like a moonflower vine,

Climbing up a trellis

To see where it would go,


But the day I noticed

Your indifference towards me,

I started planning my exit

From this painful reality,


You left with her,

and I was left with pieces

Of my shattered heart

And my broken soul,


I healed, moved on,

With every ounce of my strength,

I found a light in my soul ,

that I was sure forever lost,


That’s when you returned,

With your heart in your hand,

Kneeling before me,

With words of love,


I could not reciprocate

Your emotional plea,

You’ve come back,

But I no longer need you.
