Knock on the door,
No one is home...

Mommy left today.
She told Daddy that she could not stay...

As the last school bus parts,
Feelings of emptiness spread through some hearts...

When grandma left us that August night,
I didn't realize what would happen...

I met a boy, you see,
Everyone thought he’d fallen in...

I’m getting over you,
No more caring about what you do...

This isn’t another poem about a boy,
This time, it’s about joy...

I would have been sixteen today,
If that crash wouldn’t have happened...

I’m happy now, you know.
Guys come and they go...

The empty feeling inside,
Is what I most desperately want to hide...

One week old,
Just beginning to grow...

I love the way he saw me,
As the person I used to be...
