The Echo Left Behind

I saw the light leave your face

long before you turned away.

You talked like nothing changed,

but your voice had gone grey.

I felt alone beside you,

like I was talking to the air.

You looked at me with empty eyes,

like I was never really there.

I held your hand too tight,

trying to feel something real.

But your love was made of glass,

and it cut more than it could heal.

I stayed inside your silence,

hoping you'd say my name.

But you kept walking backwards,

playing the same old game.

And I don’t feel you now,

not even when I try.

This quiet isn’t pain—

it’s just a clean goodbye.

You were never mine to lose,

just a dream I had to fight.

I didn’t let you go—

you faded out of sight.

Stop lying in my head!

Stop sleeping in my skin!

You’re not love,

you’re just a wound I kept within!

---

It’s not hate, it’s not love,

just nothing left to feel.

You were only noise,

and now it’s finally still.

No, I don’t feel you now,

not like I did before.

You closed every window,

then walked out the door.

You were just an echo

in a house I burned inside.

I didn’t lose you...

you were never on my side.
