In The Mirror’s Stark Chill

(In the mirrors stark chill,

In the Mirror’s Stark Chill

Frost climbs the glass where your face used to be,
Empty and spectral, no hand reaching me,
I’ve memorized every crack in that wall,
The reflection keeps staring but can’t hold me anymore.

They say we’re bound by a curse and a name,
Two souls so tangled they burn when they break,
But I felt the line snap clean through the air,
Now I’m walking away and I’m walking alone.

Chorus:
In the mirror’s stark chill I was dying a slow death,
You stood behind me but you couldn’t take my breath,
Now the frost on the glass is my air,
I broke the mirror and I’m finally, finally here.

Dawn cuts the room like a blade through silk,
Your shadow dissolved when I learned how to wilt,
In the shards I saw clearly what I’d refused to see—
You were the cage and you were the key.

Now the light floods the floor where your memory bleeds,
I’m not who you made me, I’m not what you need,
The cold in my bones is the sweetest release,
You can’t touch what you never could seize.
