After- A Poem for Emily
She was almost
back to her
old self
except
she still had
her quiet
moments
she still withdrew
from the people who
loved her
she still kept
herself to
herself
she still stopped
herself from reaching
out
except
her smile
wasn't the same
her laugh
wasn't the same
except
she doesn't dance
anymore
she doesn't sing
anymore
except
she hadn't gotten
back up
from the floor
she hadn't been able
to see the stars

except
she won't
meet
your eyes
she won't
take
your hand
except
she has a
tear left
unshed
she has a
word left
to share
except
she's not
looking
forward
she's not
hoping for
anything better
she's not
yet thrown the
picture away
she's not
walked out
the door
she was almost
back to her
old self
except
she wasn't
