I spoke to the night like you were still there
Told it things I was too late to share
The silence didn’t flinch, it didn’t move
It swallowed me like you used to do

I leave the door unlocked sometimes
Pretending love forgets to end
But absence doesn't knock, it seeps
And grief is not a guest, it's a friend

I scream your name, but nothing answers back
No echo, no wind, just the sound of what I lack
I keep calling into spaces you once filled
But they stay empty—perfectly, painfully still
If love was here, it packed its bags
Now nothing answers back

I lit a flame just to feel the heat
But it flickered out before I could speak
Your shadow’s thin where it used to stay
Even ghosts don’t want to fade this way

I tried to write the hurt in rhyme
But some things don’t deserve a song
So I hum the tune of letting go
And fake the strength to carry on

I scream your name, but nothing answers back
No echo, no wind, just the sound of what I lack
I keep calling into spaces you once filled
But they stay empty—perfectly, painfully still
If love was real, it wouldn’t crack
But nothing answers back

I asked the sky, I asked the stars
I even prayed to the spaces between scars
But no one said your name but me
No one remembers what we used to be

I scream your name, but nothing answers back
Not even memories leave a track
I gave you all I had to give
But even silence forgot I live
If love was ever built to last
It died the night
Nothing answered back
