The mirror of pain
a reflection of the past
looking back at me
your absence a weight
too heavy to bear
I trace the lines of your lips
your eyes lock with mine
loss is a relentless adversary
a weight too heavy to bear
a love once a sanctuary
now the enemy within
I still cannot look away
distance does not separate
