i wonder if your eyes will know me still,
this face carved by grief's heavy hand
once soft, familiar
now all sharp edges
born from shadows and loss.

i fear you'll find only a stranger,
the beast sorrow has made.

will you turn away,
or see through the ruin?

so i wait,
hoping you'll remember what i was
before the world tore me apart.
