Mirrors

Before you left
We felt helpless
Without it
We tried to see what's left
Found nothing
Stay away
It’s cold out where you left
Take a day
And see all that you shed

Smoke and mirrors
I cannot see myself
All things fewer
And broken apart systems

When you left
We fell
Through cycles of depression
Held out to let things rest
For too long
Fade away
More helpful to let go
Shades of grey
And answers not yet known
