Untold Alibis

“I see your phone light up, then dim too fast A laugh in the dark, a shadow that I can’t grasp Are these signs or my mind running wild? Every smile feels different, every word beguiled” “You linger in your room, the door half-closed I knock, no answer, my mind exposed Coffee cups and keys misplaced, am I blind? Or am I chasing ghosts I only find inside?” “Am I imagining the signs, or is it real? My heart tells me one thing, my doubts conceal I want to ask, but fear the reply So I whisper to myself, let the silence lie” “Untold alibis, secrets in your eyes I’m lost between the truth and all my lies Every glance a question I can’t voice Every silence steals my choice” “Your perfume lingers like a fading trace I see you smile but I can’t read your face I pace the floors, replay every scene Was it just a thought or something unseen?” “I don’t confront, I don’t accuse I fold myself inside this ruse If it’s nothing, let me be If it’s real, I’ll never see” “Untold alibis, I live in my mind Chasing shadows I may never find I lie awake, whispering your name In untold alibis, I feel the blame”
