The sun still shined
Though its rays didn't warm me
Encased in my shell of grief
My body felt neither heart not cold
One entire side of me was lost
Lopsided I stayed indoors
Not attempting to face the world alone
Teetering in uneven terrain
I tried navigating by myself
Dipping my toe into the water of being alone
And gradually I mended
Put together with strands of tenderness cemented with passing time
