Echoes in the Dark

In the silence where echoes fall,

I linger on whispers, a ghost in your hall.

Locked in shadows, where secrets confide,

The weight of my presence, you cannot hide.

I am the regret you keep under lock,

A haunting reminder, the ticking clock.

Every moment that you try to erase,

I’m woven in memories, I won’t leave a trace.

You paint on a smile, but I see through the veil,

The stories untold, where your heart's grown pale.

In the corners of dreams, where hope fades away,

I whisper your name, will you let me stay?

In the dark of your shadow, I’m calling your name,

The flicker of light in this twisted game.

I’m the sigh of the night, your unsung refrain,

Together we dance in the midst of the pain.

I am the moments you wish you could keep,

A flicker of joy, a promise you weep.

You chase after dreams, but I’m holding you back,

A bittersweet echo that fades into black.

You watch the sunrise, but I linger behind,

A shadow of choices, the ties that bind.

You run from your past, but look over your shoulder,

The weight of regret grows heavier, bolder.

In the dark of your shadow, I’m calling your name,

The flicker of light in this twisted game.

I’m the sigh of the night, your unsung refrain,

Together we dance in the midst of the pain.

Let the stars collide; let the sky fall apart,

I’ll wait in the silence, a thief of your heart.

What you bury in the dark will always arise,

A flicker of truth in the midnight skies.

So here we remain, forever entwined,

In shadows and whispers, our fates are aligned.

Let me be the regret that guides you anew,

In the dark of your shadow, I’ll always be you.
