Left Shadows - Aliza
Sunsets bleeding on the wall
Boxes stacked up in the hall
Your footsteps fade from view
Now it's just the room
Curtains moving in the breeze
Whispering memories
Your picture slightly out of frame
I can't say your name
Coffee cups we didn't clean
Echoes of what we'd been
Every corner holds a trace
Of your hands, your face
You left me with shadows tonight
Dancing in the fading light
Every wall remembers you
In everything I do
You left me with shadows still
In the quiet I can feel
You walked out the door
But the shadows stay for sure
Closet half as full as before
Styrofoam's heavy on the floor
Your jacket gone from the chair
But your scent is in the air
Phone screen dark, no goodbye
Just a calm and empty space
You moved on without a sound
I still hear, still bound
Maybe time will fill the grave
Maybe shadows fade away
But right now they stretch so long
Like a quiet song
You left me with shadows tonight
Dancing in the fading light
Every wall remembers you
In everything I do
You left me with shadows still
In the quiet I can feel
You walked out the door
But the shadows stay for sure
The morning comes but somehow
I'm still standing with shadows
