Always With Me

Original poem by Francesca Bandino

After such heartache

I find joy again

There is hope

All will be alright

This will be

My happy place once more

Yes, I can

Embrace the joy

So one day

Happiness will return

And the breaks in my heart

Will be stitched up

By new memories

While also remembering

The old memories

The good memories

You will always be

On my mind

In my heart

And by my side

I will leave

My heartache behind
