# Looking into the Mirror

In the mirror, I see a shadow of my past,  
A hollow shell of who I used to be.  
My heart is shattered, broken at last,  
And I feel like I'm lost at sea.

I thought I was reaching for the stars,  
But fate had other plans in store.  
My parents taken, no longer in our cars,  
Leaving me with grief forevermore.

Today should have been a day of celebration,  
My dad's birthday, filled with joy and cheer.  
But now, it's just a day of devastation,  
Filled with memories and tears.

I miss them more than words can say,  
My heart aches with every passing day.  
I wish I could turn back the hands of time,  
And relive those moments, so sweet and divine.

But all I have now are memories and regrets,  
A constant reminder of what I've lost.  
I hold onto the love that never forgets,  
And cherish the moments, no matter the cost.

For even though they're no longer here,  
Their love still lingers, ever near.  
And I know they're watching from above,  
Dancing together, filled with love.
