Me

by Bella Melardi

It all comes back to me

When my friends go home

When night comes

I am alone

I will always come back to myself

It all comes back to me

A river, a rainbow, a road

Home ends with me

And I’ve built myself brick by brick

One day, when I am alone

I will not be lonely

It may be dark

But I’m not afraid

My lips cradle my voice

My hands are sun rays

Extending never-ending, always mending
