Come Back
by Kiana Williams
Before I was filled with laughter
Joy, sadness, but most of all
Everything seemed brighter
Not long ago I had feet walking
All over me, some small others big
Not all of them led to the same place
I had art stuck to me, but times have
Changed I have become cold and dark
And there is no longer a spark
Why did we part so soon?
In the morning I would hold the ones that were tired
The ones who need a shoulder to cry on
The ones standing with their friends
I kept you safe
I wanted you to express yourself
But then you just left
Why did you leave me? What did I do wrong?
When will I see you again?
Will I ever feel whole again?
Come back
I can’t wait to see so many beautiful faces
The smell of food lingering in the air
The wet squeaky noise shoes made after it rained
The puffy clouds of perfume
The mouths that were moving, I never seemed to
Understand what they were talking about
But most of all I can’t wait to be filled with joy
