Forever

The walls don’t listen, but they still hold me here,
The clock keeps spinning, yet time’s barely near.
There’s dust in the corners that no one ever sees,
But it’s sharper than the silence creeping through the breeze.
It’s not the storm that broke me, it’s the stillness in the air,
Not the fall that cracked the sky, but the way you weren’t there.
I’m sinking in the spaces where your shadow used to lie,
No tears left for crying, just questions asking why.
The night wears heavy like a coat that’s never mine,
The moon’s too dim to follow, but it’s trying to shine.
I’ve carved out the echoes, but they crawl back to my mind,
Every step feels hollow, every glance unkind.
It’s not the storm that broke me, it’s the stillness in the air,
Not the fall that cracked the sky, but the way you weren’t there.
I’m sinking in the spaces where your shadow used to lie,
No tears left for crying, just questions asking why.
Bridge
And if I ever find the words, they won’t sound the same,
'Cause some wounds linger softly, without leaving names.
I’m chasing after moments that never had a place,
In the quiet, in the fading, in the empty embrace.
