INSIDE MY MIND Inside, my mind, tiny faces reappear. Lost in translation, the one I once held dear. Voices echo, leaving no trace of you. Hatred grew at the thought of you. Shame knew my name, but it spared my soul. Now I have grown so alone. Shivering in this isolated place, wishing, just wishing, for someone to spare me, to grant me grace. And I keep going back to what I once knew, pills in my bed— what else is new? Swallow another one, just to see you. But you’re fading in and out, like a ghost behind my eyes. I reach for your silhouette, but my hands just catch the night. Every memory tastes like something I can’t undo. I keep losing pieces of myself trying to get back to you. Maybe I’m addicted to the person that I was, before your name became a wound, before love became a loss. I buried all the photographs, but I still remember where. Funny how a vanished face can haunt you everywhere. And I don’t know where I end and where your shadow starts. You left your fingerprints all over my fragile heart. I tried to turn the pages, but they always lead to you. Every road I take just brings me back to what I knew. So let me sleep beneath the silence, let the darkness take its place. Let the years erase the outline of the memories on my face. If I wake without your ghost, maybe I’ll remember me— not the girl who kept on searching, but the girl she used to be. Inside, my mind, tiny faces disappear. The voices finally quiet, and I no longer need you here. Shame may still know my name, but it doesn’t own my soul. I spent so long becoming broken— now I’m learning to be whole. And if I ever see you somewhere underneath the blue, I hope I don’t have to hurt myself just to remember you. I hope I can look right through you, like you were never mine to lose. Like the person I once loved was never something I had to choose. Inside, my mind… I finally let you go.
