I closed my eyes

I closed my eyes and heard the dust, It whispered things I used to trust. The ceiling cracked but didn’t fall, Just echoed back my quiet call. The bed’s still warm but never soft, I count regrets instead of clocks. I breathe like someone watching sleep— Not in it, just beneath. ♪ (Chorus) I sleep like stone, Heavy and hollow. No dreams, no light, Just silence to swallow. You could scream my name, I wouldn’t know. I’m not resting— I’m letting go. ♪ (Verse 2) The sky’s been gray for three whole weeks, The sun forgot which side to reach. The mirror fogs but won’t erase, What time keeps drawing on my face. I used to beg the dark to speak, Now I just lay and let it leak. Not sad, not brave—just still and bare, Like something paused in open air. ♪ (Chorus) I sleep like stone, Heavy and hollow. No dreams, no light, Just silence to swallow. You could scream my name, I wouldn’t know. I’m not resting— I’m letting go. ♪ (Bridge) I’m not dead, I’m just too slow. Like frost that never Learned to show. ♪ (Final Chorus) I sleep like stone, And still I stay. Between the breath And slow decay. You say I’ll wake— But I don’t mind. This quiet feels A lot like mine. ♪ ♪ ♪
