Erased

I’ve been walking down these empty streets,
Shadows of who we used to be.
Memories fading, slipping away,
Like pictures in the rain, they won’t stay.
I tried to hold on, but I lost the fight,
Your face disappearing into the night.
I’m chasing ghosts, but it’s all a blur,
Like we never were, like we never were.
Erased from the pages of time,
Erased, like the words never rhyme.
All the love we shared, now a trace,
I’m standing here, but I’m erased.
All the letters that I never sent,
All the words I’ll forever regret.
You slipped through my hands like sand in the breeze,
Now all I have are these silent pleas.
I tried to remember the way you laughed,
But even that is fading fast.
I’m chasing ghosts, but they disappear,
Like we were never here, like we were never here.
