Empty Room

Four walls whisper but they don’t speak

The floorboards creak but never squeak

Shadows stretch where the light won’t reach

It’s me and the silence playing hide and seek

The air is heavy but it won’t hold me

The clock keeps ticking but it doesn’t know me

Empty room

Echo my name

Empty room

Nothing’s the same

No voices

No faces

Just me in the gloom

I’m lost in the quiet of this empty room

The window stares like it’s seen it all

A fly’s last buzz is a curtain call

Dust dances where the sunbeam falls

I scream inside but it hits the wall

Empty room

Echo my name

Empty room

Nothing’s the same

No voices

No faces

Just me in the gloom

I’m lost in the quiet of this empty room

If walls could talk

Would they tell me to leave

If floors could cry

Would they beg me to breathe

This room’s a tomb for the life I outgrew

And I’m just a ghost waiting for something new
