I look back and she’s gone

I look forwards and she’s gone

I am alone

Nobody was there to follow my every move


As I skip on my way down the path I look behind

I see a dark shadow hugging against my side

I smile knowing I’ll be okay

I missed a sense of comfort


When I looked back I didn’t like what I saw 

Blank cement on a summer day

I am a senior at my highschool and I enjoy my creative writing class. We had to write a free verse poem and after listening to Olivia Rodrigo I got an idea to write this poem.
