Shattered between Us

The clock keeps whispering secrets, it’s half past two,

And I’m staring at the doorway where I last saw you.

Your shadow lingers longer than your scent on my skin,

The silence grows louder where your laugh had been.

The walls still hum your melody, the one you used to play,

I trace your name on foggy glass, it fades away.

Every streetlight outside knows the tears I hide,

They flicker when I walk, like they’re on my side.

I tell myself that I’m fine, but my eyes betray,

Every lie I’ve built just fades away.

We were fire in the rain, we burned too fast,

Built a castle of forever that would never last.

You were thunder in my calm, I was peace in your storm,

Now I’m lying in the ashes where your heart got torn.

Oh, love was a war we both refused to lose,

Now I’m broken, still wearing your shoes.

The coffee’s still bitter, your cup’s still there,

Like a ghost at my table, pulling up your chair.

Your hoodie still hangs where your heart used to be,

Smells like promises that never set me free.

I remember the night under city lights,

You swore love was forever, and it felt so right.

But forever came early, with your last goodbye,

And I learned that even angels make you cry.

You said love’s a risk, but we rolled the dice,

Now I’m paying the price for paradise.

We were fire in the rain, we burned too fast,

Built a castle of forever that would never last.

You were thunder in my calm, I was peace in your storm,

Now I’m lying in the ashes where your heart got torn.

Oh, love was a war we both refused to lose,

Now I’m broken, still wearing your shoes.

Maybe someday you’ll hear this song,

And you’ll feel the ache where we went wrong.

Maybe you’ll reach for the phone, but you’ll stop halfway,

‘Cause you’ll remember the pride that made you walk away.

We both had chances, but silence won,

And what we had just came undone.

You found freedom, I found pain,

We both lost love in the pouring rain.

Now I walk past your street, just to feel something real,

But the lights don’t shine like they used to feel.

Every window hides a world I don’t know,

While I drown in the echo of “don’t let go.”

I keep replaying your words in my mind,

They cut like glass, but I’m still blind.

You said “we’re better apart,” but tell me why,

If we were broken, why can’t I say goodbye?

We were fire in the rain, and I still feel the burn,

Every heartbreak has a lesson I can’t learn.

You were thunder in my calm, my sweetest sin,

Now the storm
