You Left Me In The Dark

(whispered, broken)

You said you’d stay…

But ghosts don’t promise, do they?

(static, breath)

You left… you left…

I built my trust from shadow and flame,

You wore a mask, I still learned your name.

You pulled me close — said I was safe,

Then vanished like you never had a face.

(why’d you go? why’d you go?)

Every night you haunt my air,

You were my calm, my silent prayer.

Now I wake to empty space,

and curse the dream I can’t replace.

I begged the dark to send you back,

Got nothing but the echo’s crack.

You said I’d never be alone,

Guess that lie turned into stone.

(you lied… you lied…)

You left me in the dark — no warning, no sound,

You built me up, then tore me down.

I screamed your name into the night,

But even ghosts don’t fight.

You left me in the dark — and it’s cold,

Every promise turned to mold.

You said “I’ll stay,” then disappeared —

Now I face the dark you feared.

I still check the corners of my sleep,

For the shape of you I couldn’t keep.

You were my mask, my fight, my flame,

Now I’m just ashes whispering your name.

(come back… come back…)

Did I dream you just to break me?

Did you save me just to erase me?

Every breath — a scar, a mark,

You left your silence in my heart.

(you left… you left…)

You left me in the dark — no goodbye,

You let me fall while you could fly.

I’m not your shadow anymore,

I’m the fire you ignored.

You left me in the dark — but I’ll burn,

Watch me glow when it’s my turn.

You left me in the dark —

Now it’s your ghost who’ll learn.

I don’t need your mask…

I wear my own now.

(you left… but I’m still here.)
