Shadows in My Heart

I see your shadow in the doorway light

It flickers once then fades from sight

The clock keeps ticking but the room won’t move

This empty space is all I prove

I try to speak but words decay

Echoes fall where memories play

Shadows in my heart

They tear me apart

I’m calling your name

But it’s not the same

Shadows in my heart

That’s where you are

Your laughter lingers like a broken song

Every note reminds me where I went wrong

The mirror cracks but it won’t let go

A fractured me is all I know

I write you letters I’ll never send

A ghost of us I can’t defend

Shadows in my heart

They tear me apart

I’m calling your name

But it’s not the same

Shadows in my heart

That’s where you are
