Lost in the Echo

Shadow on my wrist, time slipping like a thief,

Woke up in a dream, or maybe just a brief—

Moment in the static, caught between the seams,

Chasing all the echoes of forgotten schemes.

You call, I fall, I’m drowning in your sound,

I crawl, this wall, it’s crumbling down.

Lost in the echo, nowhere to go,

Every word we said still lingers below.

Lost in the echo, hearts beat slow,

Every time we try, the silence grows.

Gold dust in my veins, fire in my chest,

Tried to hold the flame, but it burned the rest.

Looking for the map, but the lines erased,

Every step we take, another chance misplaced.

I see, you flee, this spiral pulls us in,

We bleed, we plead, but love won’t let us win.

Lost in the echo, nowhere to go,

Every word we said still lingers below.

Lost in the echo, hearts beat slow,

Every time we try, the silence grows.
