echoes of you

your handprints on my soul, they linger still,
a haunting touch that shadows all i do.
i try to speak to someone new, but will
the memory of you let me push through?

each word i say, a hesitant release,
as echoes of our past refuse to fade.
i search for solace, yearning for some peace,
but find your ghost in every move i've made.

i'm scared to let another in my heart,
for fear they'll trace the scars you've left behind.
yet, something stirs, a chance for a new start,
if only i could leave you in my mind.

your handprints on my soul may never leave,
but i must try to heal, to breathe, to grieve.
