every time you look in the mirror

it's a /reflection\ of him

you're a living, breathing mirror

oh, they "speak" your name

but they see him, not you

it hurts for them

but how does it hurt for you?

in ways unimaginable

you really didn't know what grief was

but now? you're an expert.

grief that leaves you breathless

&shattered and numb

very numb

it s|h|a|k|e|s your foundation

and crashes your world

he's there

when you're conscious

&when you're not

in your restless slumber

you see him

'hush, hush,'

the darkness says

it lulls you to sleep

with promises of happy dreams

what a liar

you see Fred in your dreams

(you don't even have to say his name;

he's a permanent staple in your mind)

the bittersweet laughter, the memories

the bittersweet togetherness

what it felt like

to have another ha|lf of you

it was fredandgeorge, gredandforge

oh, but it's different now

it's f . r . e. d . & g . e . o . r . g . e

spaced out

a million miles -apart-

they say they understand

how you're feeling

if they never understood you 2two2

in the 1first1 place,

how could they understand now?
