You left your silence in my chest,
It echoes when I breathe.
I wear your absence like a wound,
That never learns to leave.
Every night, I build a fire,
But it burns without your spark.
I see your face in every flame,
Then fade back into dark.
This hollow heart won’t beat the same,
It’s lost its rhythm, lost your name.
I try to sing, but all I hear
Is silence whispering your name.
I trace the scars you left behind,
They tell me where I’ve been.
Each mark a story carved in pain,
Of everything we did.
If emptiness could hold a tune,
It’d sound like your goodbye.
Soft and cruel, it lingers still,
A shadow in my sky.
This hollow heart still calls for you,
But echoes can’t reply.
I breathe your ghost and fade away,
Where love forgot to die.
