//partial restore…// //memory bleed detected// //continue?// [Verse 1] Porcelain light / flicker phase A face divides in mirrored haze Fingertips read the splitting lines Like origin lost between the signs Salt-trace paths / skin recalls Echo drips down tiled walls I bent / reduced / erased the frame To make a shelter out of blame But something stayed where I couldn’t reach Buried beneath what I couldn’t speak Piece by piece / I reappear Out of the blur / out of the smear Every version I disappeared Is returning here Cut the thread / release the role Unwritten parts regain control You never held the hidden whole Now I unfold //piece—piece—piece// //return—return—return// //mine—mine—mine// [Verse 2] Volume low / breath restrained I learned the shape of self-contained Light reduced to a safer hue So nothing sharp would cut through you Now in the dim I find her form Pre-collapse / pre-conform I take her hand through the after-state Say, “we survived the weight” She moves in time inside my chest Not incomplete… just unexpressed Piece by piece / I realign Through every fracture left behind All that I buried to stay confined Rewrites as mine No more edits / no rename No more loss inside your frame You never saw what I became I stay the same //no reduction// //no redesign// //no distortion to survive// I let it fall / I let it end No replication to defend I don’t erase you—I release The absence builds what I can’t see //hold…// //hold…// Now I assemble undefined Half in shadow / half in light Every fracture recompiled Into a life Not restored to what it was Not returning—just because In the quiet something hums… …and it becomes //process incomplete// //but stable// //continue becoming…//
