Title: "Silent Line (For Macey)"

I still save a seat at the table,

Pour your coffee, just in case.

I scroll through old messages,

Searching for a trace.

Your laughter echoes in these halls,

But now the silence falls,

And I’m left here wondering

If you’ll ever call.

Macey, where did you go?

You left without a word,

And I’m haunted by the things

That I never said, or you never heard.

I reach out through the static,

But the line stays cold and thin.

I’m missing you, Macey—

I wish you’d let me in.

I replay every memory,

Trying to find where I went wrong.

Was it something I said,

Or was it silence all along?

I see your face in photographs,

Your smile a distant shore.

I’m stranded in the middle,

Not knowing anymore.

Macey, where did you go?

You left without a word,

And I’m haunted by the things

That I never said, or you never heard.

I reach out through the static,

But the line stays cold and thin.

I’m missing you, Macey—

I wish you’d let me in.

I hope you find your peace,

Even if it’s far from me.

I’ll carry every memory,

And set your spirit free.

If ever you remember

The love we used to know,

You’ll find me waiting,

Never letting go.

Macey, wherever you are,

I hope you’re safe and strong.

I’ll keep a light on in my heart,

And hope you come along.

I’ll whisper to the silence,

And dream of what could be—

Always your father,

If you ever need me.

I’ll whisper to the silence,

And dream you’ll talk to me—

Always your father,

If you ever need me.
