Ghosts in the Room

Whispers in the silence, shadows in the light,

I’m here but not here, lost in the night.

We share these same spaces, yet worlds apart,

A smile on your face is a dagger to my heart.

You’ve got your dreams, they’re dancing in your head,

While I’m drowning in the silence of all the words left unsaid.

Too tall, too fat, not a burden you say,

But love’s a twisted game where we both lose our way.

You settled for a heart that can handle the strain,

But deep down inside, it’s driving me insane.

I’m here but not here, a ghost in this room,

Pretending you’re happy, but I sense all the gloom.

I’ll keep my mask on, while you’re drifting away,

In a love that’s unspoken, where hope fades to gray.

We laugh through the tension, disguise all the pain,

But underneath the surface, it’s a bittersweet chain.

Your eyes wander places where I’ll never tread,

A love built on dreams that feel like they’ve fled.

You call it tolerance, but oh, can’t you see?

I’m giving my all while you’re longing to be free.

Clinging to illusions, we’re both playing parts,

Caught in this drama, we’re lost from the start.

I’m here but not here, a ghost in this room,

Pretending you’re happy, but I sense all the gloom.

I’ll keep my mask on while you’re drifting away,

In a love that’s unspoken, where hope fades to gray.

But somewhere inside, a spark still remains,

A hope that someday we’ll break free from these chains.

While the world keeps on turning, I’ll stand by your side,

Even if it feels like a beautiful lie.

So I’ll wear my disguise, keep on playing the role,

Hiding the cracks, but you’re losing control.

I’m here but not here, a quiet refrain,

In a love that feels broken, yet I’m still in this game.
