Always alone

Beneath a sky stitched shut with ash

Where dying whispers learn to last

Another night dissolves in me

Drowning slow inside a silent scream

I wander through the bruised-out streets

Dragging ghosts behind my feet

Every window holds a life I’ll never touch

Every heartbeat feels like far too much

I wear my sorrow like a second skin

A house of cracks I’m trapped within

Learning how to disappear

Without making a sound for anyone to hear

Maybe silence only tells the truth we fear

That hope still breathes, but never stays too near

Lying with the dark while I come undone

Holding broken shadows one by one

I ask for nothing, not even mercy

Just a quiet place where pain can bury me

These hollow nights keep swallowing me whole

Turning every wound into a place called home

If I disappear beneath the weight I keep

Let the darkness have what’s left of me

The past still stains my shaking hands

Like smoke that never leaves my lungs

I search for somewhere I belong

But every road just leads me wrong

And the night leans close against my ear

Speaking truths I’ve always feared

That maybe I was born to break

And carry emptiness I cannot escape

Beneath the shadowed, bleeding sky

I lose a little more each night

Maybe light was never meant for me

Just another ghost learning how to breathe
