Part of Me Missing

Whispers in the silent room

Echoes of a love that bloomed

Lost a year, yet feels so new

Missing pieces, fading hue

Pictures on the shelf, memories glow

Softest voice I used to know

Time moves on, but here I stand

Holding onto what slipped from my hand

Sometimes I forget she's gone

Like shadows in my dawn

Feels like she's just away

In my heart she'll stay

Lost in the mirror, not quite me

A hollow space I can't see

Part of me, gone in the wind

Still searching for her within

Mom, are you near, are you here?

In the whisper, in the tear?

A ghost, a love so true

Carved in everything I do

One year passed, still I wait

For the day I find my way

Till then, I breathe her name

In my soul, her flame remains
