Half of me remembers
what it took to forget
Every scar I learned to hide
every promise I left
I still hear the echoes
of who I used to be
A ghost in the mirror
still looking at me
I carry the weight
of roads I travelled
But my hands still shake
reaching for what's ahead
Half of me leans toward
what hasn't happened yet
The past tugs at my ankles
The future calls my name
And here I am still breathing
in the light in between
I've learned how to stand still
when the world says run
Learned how to keep going
when the damage is done
I don't need the answers
I just need the space
To let tomorrow touch me
at my own pace
I'm not lost
I'm just paused
In a moment that bends
Half of me leans toward
what hasn't happened yet
The past tugs at my ankles
won't loosen its grip, not yet
The future calls my name
through the cracks I'm in
And here I am surviving
in the light between
There's a quiet here
where I finally feel… healed
I don't need to choose
who I used to be
or who I'll become
I can stay right here
In the void
In the light
Half of me remembers
Half of me believes
That I don't have to disappear
to be free
The past can pull
The future can scream
But I'm alive
in the space between
In the light
that exists
in between
the void
