ECHO

How do you fill
this big empty?

This place where once,
I had a heart?

Help me chase the kids away.

They stand over
this big gapping hole,
and are yelling “ECHO”,
and it's getting on my nerves.

I look in the mirror,
and I see,
not me,
not me,

who is this,
that I don't see?

No refection,
walking dead,

all my refection
is in my head,
and in my soul,
or a the least,
what's left of it.

“Looking back,
on the memories of,
the dance we shared”.

I could have missed this pain,
but I didn't,
I didn't.

How could I?

It faced me straight,
face to face,
undeniably.
