Broken Echoes

A shattered glass falls to the ground

No sound but the pounding in my chest so loud

You left your shadow where you used to stand

Now I’m searching for pieces with trembling hands

The clock moves but I stand so still

The space you left I just can’t fill

Your laughter echoes like a warning bell

It’s a one-way trip down this broken spell

My heart beats like a broken drum

Louder than silence but it’s still numb

Every beat’s a whisper of a past undone

A melody played for no one

Footsteps in the dust but they don’t belong

I hear the ghosts of where we went wrong

The wind carries whispers I’ll never decode

An empty road leads to hearts that corrode

I scream your name but it fades in the void

A love built up just to be destroyed

The stars don’t answer they just burn cold

And I’m left with a story that won’t be told

My heart beats like a broken drum

Louder than silence but it’s still numb

Every beat’s a whisper of a past undone

A melody played for no one
