“I stopped by the mirror
by the window of my room
the shadows from within asked ' why did they leave? '
such a lovely sparkling soul, a girl so naive but funny
why did they 'have' to leave ?
what would have 'made' them leave ?.. I looked deep and deeper
through bones and flesh
and uncovered one by one
the layers of my low self esteem,
of no confidence,
of pain and hurt
unsaid unheard
and sighed..

and within that moment
of sheer nakedness it dawned upon me
how could they ever have stayed?.. for down the porch.. out in the garden..
for times ago.. our souls had never played together as children
how could they have stayed I smiled,
for I had to find my way to you, I had to come home,
to the girl so naive but funny”
