Verse 1]
Loss came in quietly,
sat beside me on the floor.
Didn’t ask questions—
just wrapped the silence
around my ribs.
She didn’t fill the space.
Just held my hands
and said,
“I know.”
⸻
[Chorus]
She gave me her name,
her stillness,
her rhythm.
Built me a home
from everything I let go.
She stayed
when no one else did—
Loss,
the one who stayed.
⸻
[Verse 2]
She watered the garden
with what I couldn’t say.
Held the mirror
when I looked away.
Loss never leaves.
She waits at the door.
Doesn’t knock.
Doesn’t ask.
⸻
[Final Chorus / Outro]
She gave me her name,
and I wear it
like skin.
She stayed
when no one else did—
Loss,
my oldest friend.
Loss,
the one who stayed.
