2AM glow on the screen
Scrolling past a name I used to keep
Unread texts in a thread
Ghosts of words I never said
Delete the pic clear the chat
But the memory won't fade to black
Blue light on my hollow face
Trapped inside this digital space
Data ghosts they follow me
In the void where we used to be
Every click every dead account
Hides behind my tired eyes
Profilepic changed name erased
But the trace is still in place
Liked posts from a year ago
Echoes where the silence grows
I turn the phone face down at night
But the glow still bleeds through my mind
Every timestamp every late reply
Is a ghost I can't un-sign
Data ghosts they follow me
In the dark where the code runs deep
Every delete every lost file
Burns behind my tired eyes
I close the app turn off the screen
But the ghosts won't let me be
They whisper names they replay scenes
Of a version I'm still learning to grieve
Data ghosts they follow me
But tonight I'll let them breathe
Every trace every digital sigh
Is a part of who I still try to be
Data ghosts
