Whispers fall like ash and snow, In the silence, I still know. Your name is carved in every stone, Though I walk these roads alone. You left with the wind, without a sound, Now your ghost is all around. In shattered frames and wilted flowers, I count the years, the endless hours. And I reach for what is gone, Fading echoes pull me on. No matter how I try to run, Your shadow blots the sun. In the dark, I breathe you in, Like a curse beneath my skin. No escape, no sweet release, Just a memory that won’t cease. Where the light won’t reach, I stay, Calling out your name each day. I wear the hurt like second skin, A war I never meant to win. Each heartbeat is a hollow drum, Waiting for a dawn that won’t come. And I still replay the fall, Every whisper, every call. Hope is rusted, cracked with pain, But I walk through it again. In the dark, I breathe you in, Like a curse beneath my skin. No escape, no sweet release, Just a memory that won’t cease. Where the light won’t reach, I stay, Calling out your name each day. Would you hear me if I screamed? Would it matter, or was it all a dream? The love, the fall, the silent plea You took the best, and the rest is me. In the dark, I breathe you in, Like a shadow deep within. No escape, no sweet goodbye, Just the echo of your lie. Where the light won’t reach, I stay, Bound by love that slipped away. So if you’re out there in the cold, Know my soul is still on hold. For the fire that used to be The only warmth that ever reached me.
