Echoes in the Silence

Shadows stretch where you once stood

A hollow ache where warmth once grew

Your laugh still lingers in the air

But I reach out and you're not there

Gone like whispers in the night

Fading stars that lose their light

I call your name

It echoes wide

But nothing answers

Just the tide

Your sweater hangs

It still smells sweet

A ghost of you in every beat

I walk these halls

The walls don’t speak

Every step feels weak

Feels weak

If time could bend

I'd make it stay

Freeze the moment

Push decay

Gone like whispers in the night

Fading stars that lose their light

I call your name

It echoes wide

But nothing answers

Just the tide

Every clock just laughs at me

Ticking on so mercilessly

I scream

I beg

I break

I plead

But all I’m left with is the need
