Your birthday blooms inside my timeline Though you’ve been gone a year today The machine still sends me memories It never learned to look away Your photograph keeps getting younger While I grow older in this room Every heart becomes an echo Every click reopens the wound I close the page You reappear The dead don’t leave When data keeps them here There are ghosts in the feed tonight Smiling in electric light Calling from a life we knew Asking me to follow you I can mute the sound and leave But the screen remembers me There are ghosts in the feed tonight And one of them looks just like you The cloud became our final heaven Passwords guard the cemetery We entrusted love to servers That will outlive you and me If I delete the evidence Do I lose you once again? If memory never disappears Can mourning ever end? There are ghosts in the feed tonight Fading in electric light I won’t follow where you’ve gone But I’ll carry something on Let the screen forget your face I will keep your human trace There are ghosts in the feed tonight But I’ll remember you alive
