MIRROR SHADOWS

The dust dances in the room,
where I left what I never was,
there are old voices in every corner
repeating what I lost.

And I don't know how to let go of what won't return,
even though it hurts to hold on,
I make shadows a safe place
where I can remake you.

I idealized what hurt,
I turned it into something eternal,
but the memory is no company,
only an echo within.
