Mirror
The sound of your silence gets louder
Every time I remember you’re gone.
Words left unsaid
Bounce off the inside of my mind
In a perverse game of one sided tennis.
But in the depths of my heart I hope
You’re throwing your own back against the mirror.

Love the careful build up to the ending. That perverse game of one sided tennis is so exhausting.
Your writing is so tight and dense.
Fantastic!
Mirrors are such a good topic, too.
Loving where you’re taking us this year!
The last line really packs a punch. Like the one-sided tennis metaphor very much.
The ending is powerful, and like the others above, I like the tennis metaphor. You capture the emotions of a relationship ending.
