Alone in the Silence

Empty rooms hold heavy air

Shadows sit in every chair

I speak

No one replies

Echoes wear a thin disguise

Windows cry with streaks of rain

Every drop repeats my pain

Alone

So alone

This house ain’t a home

Walls don’t speak

They just groan

Alone

I’m alone

Clock ticks slow

It mocks my fight

Time won’t pass

It grips the night

Memories float like paper ash

Burnt edges

Gone in a flash

Alone

So alone

This house ain’t a home

Walls don’t speak

They just groan

Alone

I’m alone

If silence could scream

It would tear through my soul

If shadows could laugh

They’d swallow me whole

The keys of this piano

They weep when I play

Each note a confession

Each chord fades away
