Flicker

I'm sitting in the dark,

Thoughts spinning like a broken record,

Every smile feels like a mask,

Hiding the weight that I can't ignore.

You say it's just a phase,

But the shadows won't fade,

I'm lost in the echoes,

Of words I never said.

Like a flicker in the night,

I'm searching for a spark,

But the light keeps slipping,

And I'm falling apart.

Every laugh feels hallow,

Every moment, a fight,

I'm just a ghost in the daylight,

Trying to find its way back to life.

The world keeps moving on,

While I'm stuck in this haze,

Chasing memories of joy,

But they're fading with the days.

You say it's just a phase,

But the shadows won't fade,

I'm lost in the echoes,

Of words I never said.

Like a flicker in the night,

I'm searching for a spark,

But the light keeps slipping,

And I'm falling apart.

Every laugh feels hallow,

Every moment, a fight,

I'm just a ghost in the daylight,

Trying to find its way back to life.

So I'll sit here in the dark,

With the flicker of my heart,

Hoping for a moment,

When the light won't fall apart.

Just a flicker in the night,

Trying to find its way,

But the shadows keep on calling,

And it's lost in the fray.

And I know I should be stronger,

But the weight is pulling me down,

I'm reaching for a lifeline,

But it's nowhere to be found.
