Fading Without a Fight

You said you’re fine, I didn’t press

Two spoons, one cup, but half the mess

TV on, but neither watched

We sat with things we never touched

The room was warm, but we felt cold

The light was dim, the story old

And every word we didn’t say

Still echoed louder anyway

We’re fading without a fight

No storm, no scream, no sleepless night

Just drifting out of sight

As if we blinked and lost the light

No broken glass, no final plea

Just you not reaching out for me

Your keys still hang beside the door

But you don’t glance at them no more

You hum a tune, but not our song

I smile like nothing's going wrong

Our calendar still holds our names

But all the days now feel the same

And in the silence, soft and slow

I feel you getting ready to go

We’re fading without a fight

No storm, no scream, no sleepless night

Just drifting out of sight

As if we blinked and lost the light

No broken glass, no final plea

Just you not reaching out for me

Some endings don’t arrive in flames

They slip in shadows, skip the blame

They wear your shirt and pour your tea

But feel like someone else to me

We’re fading without a fight

And I don’t even think it’s right

But I won’t chase what won’t return

Some pages read but never burn

You never slammed the door that night

You just faded out of light
