Bone resembles glass in my chest
Remembering your weight
I folded the light inside my ribs
Until it snapped into a cage
The air is a mirror
And you are not reflected in it
Every corridor I walk hums
With the absence you carved
Trust rotted
Left fingerprints in my veins
I traced them with ice
Fingers frozen into claws
That caught nothing
The soft part of me
Was a city you razed
Now the rubble has its own pulse
And it beats without a sound
I wear the memory of you
Like a shard pressed into skin
And it hurts so precisely
That the wound is elegance
Nothing passes through
Nothing touches
Nothing bends
Even grief is a machine I dismantled
And stacked into neat towers
Inside the hollow of my throat
I do not bleed
I do not wait
I do not hope
Even fear folds into itself
Before it reaches me
Every echo of your voice
Is a fossil
Every warmth you left
Is a blueprint for winter
The world moves around me
And I am a cage that nobody owns
The frost in my lungs
Has learned its own gravity
You left nothing
I built everything from the absence
Ash is stronger than flesh
Silence sharper than a knife
And I will carry it all
Without ever opening the door Again
