I miss you Jaccob

Rusty mirror, couldn’t see the shine back then,

Thought my cracks made me worthless to mend.

Your gaze was a warmth, I turned ice cold,

Now the story’s told - empty arms to hold.

If I saw me through your eyes, way back then,

Maybe we’d rewrite where the story ends.

Trade my pride, my scars, my alibi lies,

For the moment we’d rise, no goodbyes.

You said “stay,” but I chased the unknown,

Built a castle of regret, now I’m here alone.

Your laughter now echoes where silence screams,

A son in your arms, but not in my dreams.

Time’s a thief in the night, stole what was real,

Left me counting the cracks it couldn’t heal.

Wish on broken stars, light fading too,

Can’t unlove the shadow that still feels true.

If I saw me through your eyes, way back then,

Maybe we’d rewrite where the story ends.

Trade my pride, my scars, my alibi lies,

For the moment we’d rise, no goodbyes.

Your life’s a book I can’t be part of now,

No second act, no curtain take a bow.

The son you cradle has stars in his eyes,

Hope he sees the good you poured in my skies.
