you asked me to stay but you never meant it so i stayed in your silence long enough to disappear half in shadow quiet smile you tilt your head — that angle lies truth slips through the silent light don’t bother with apologies what you see only half of me i’m whole when i fall out of line you never read me right i’m the part you couldn’t place i was never yours sharp in the blur soft when things fall apart photo burn unsaid lips playing nice in fragile threads you called it fate i heard it too late we trimmed love down and stepped too far what you missed wasn’t a mistake i fade best when i come undone trace me through the fading night drawn to a quiet fire almost like icarus what you thought you held is already gone you never read me right i’m the part you couldn’t place lines bend slowly when words fall apart a glance that throws you off never yours a voice between the words if i were easy to read that wouldn’t be me cut the scene quietly
