Naomi Shihab Nye taught me to do this...

Shoes strewn about my room
Some in pairs, some lonesome
for their partner lost under my bed.
Why don't you talk to me anymore?
Why don't you care?
I used to ask myself, "What if I leave?"
But you left - I look to my pillow and
it welcomes me
like your once open arms.
