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
