Used to Be but No Longer

Woke up in sheets damp by sweat,
Touch my scars, remember,
Numb and cold,
Ennui foundations,
Lost where my thoughts go,
Only a year now,
Used to be but no longer alone,

Uneasy anniversary,
Confessions and tears,
Phone calls,
Hospital gowns and silence,
Stare into space but no stars shine,
Find the echoing hum of silence,
Used to be but no longer alone,

Learn who I am now,
No longer lose control,
Mate of my soul,
Purposeful,
Wake up next to you,
Uses to be but no longer
on my own.
