Shattered Geometry
Walber Costa
I drew your face in broken lines
On the corners of my mind
Every angle slightly off
But I told myself it's fine
There's a rhythm in your silence
Like a clock that's lost its time
Ticking louder in the dark
Every second out of rhyme
And I tried to make it whole
But the pieces wouldn't stay
Every time I let it go
It would fall apart again
We were never perfect symmetry
Just reflections in a cracked design
You were drifting like a melody
I was chasing every note you left behind
Now the silence feels like gravity
Pulling everything out of line
We were never perfect symmetry
Just two shapes that couldn't align
There's a shadow in the hallway
Where your laughter used to live
Now it echoes off the walls
Of the love we couldn't give
I can see it in the mirror
All the faults I tried to hide
Every fracture in the glass
Is a truth I can't deny
I was bending every rule
Trying just to make you stay
But the harder that I pulled
The more you slipped away
We were never perfect symmetry
Just reflections in a cracked design
You were drifting like a melody
I was chasing every note you left behind
Now the silence feels like gravity
Pulling everything out of line
We were never perfect symmetry
Just two shapes that couldn't align
If I redraw every line
Would it change what we became?
Or just trace the same mistakes
In a different kind of pain?
Maybe chaos is the truth
We were too afraid to see
Not every heart is built
For perfect symmetry
We were never perfect symmetry
Just reflections fading out of time
You were rising like a memory
I was holding onto what we left behind
Now the silence breaks the gravity
Every piece I can't redefine
We were never perfect symmetry
Just two souls in a flawed design
Just two souls
Out of line
Never meant
To align
