What is left but your reflection 
the images of you tremble upon a fault line
time apart has cast holes into memory 
with so little of you in recollection
I fear that you will disappear
you have become a shadow with no beginning 
isolated to moments I hold dear 
I can only reform you from distorted visions 
from my cast you start to slip away

You soon collapse into oblivion 
to fall like dust though my hand
and rise like smoke to dim my eyes
alive and breathing
but now you body has become
the furthest thing from your mind
still you remain closer than death

Now left to embody what I hold near
I have become the box I can’t break out of
you remain the box I can’t break into
attempt to clutch the clockwork
of a deafend remembrance 
like screaming into deaf ears
you are left misunderstood 
In shaded obscurity 
accompanied by mere absurdity 
take what is left and turn away
