The Weight of Small Things

Oh, the weight of it all,

It crushes me softly in the fall.

It may have been small to you,

But I couldn’t pull through.

Not when that one night

Blew out our light.

I was waiting, lost in the dark,

But you walked away like it meant no harm.

Two hours in, and I was replaced,

Like all our years could be erased.

I tried to move, I tried to breathe,

But the weight of it came crashing down on me.

You said it was nothing, just a passing scene,

But you don’t know what that meant to me.

Like it was small, like it was fine,

Like I’d just move on with time.

But every moment, every sound,

Keeps on pulling me back down.

Like it was small, like it was light,

But I felt the weight, felt the fight.

Trying to forget, still I know,

Every memory from that night won’t let go.

Days turned to nights, and nights felt so long,

I wander these streets, but I still hear your song.

The echoes linger, like shadows that roam,

In every corner, I’m never alone.

I tried to move, I tried to flee,

But your ghost keeps on haunting me.

You said it was nothing, but it’s fading fast,

Yet the ties of the past hold me steadfast.

Like it was small, like it was fine,

Like I’d just move on with time.

But every moment, every sound,

Keeps on pulling me back down.

Like it was small, like it was light,

But I felt the weight, felt the fight.

Trying to forget, still I know,

Every memory from that night won’t let go.

Tears crash down like an open sky,

The love we had didn’t even say goodbye.

A flicker of hope, trapped in a dream,

I’m lost in a world that’s come undone at the seam.

Like it was small, like it was fine,

Like I’d just move on with time.

But every moment, every sound,

Keeps on pulling me back down.

Like it was small, like it was light,

Yet the feelings stand heavy in the night.

Trying to forget, but I know,

Every memory from that night won’t let go.

So here I stand, in the shadows of time,

Waiting for a spark, a reason, a rhyme.

Yet here in the silence, I still hear your name,

In the echoes of love, I’m the one to blame.
