I’m Lonely Without Brendan

Too much time

to wonder and worry

about what’s    e a t i n g

him. There’s no one to talk to

and nothing to look forward to

when he’s not here.

I miss him at    l u n c h

and on break I sit in my car

thinking about next year

when he’ll be off to college

and I’ll be here.

Left all    a l o n e.
