I whisper to walls where your voice used to be,
A ghost in the halls of what once felt like we.
The echoes don't answer, they only decay,
Like promises buried where lovers once lay.
I drank from the ache of your soft, steady light,
It warmed me through months that were colder than night.
But now there’s a hush, a deafening kind,
A silence that cuts deeper than time.
You said I must stand, must fight for my soul,
But some nights the darkness just swallows me whole.
I’m not asking for saving, or chains, or a vow,
Just a whisper that I’m still worth holding somehow.
You want peace I would give you the stars.
I would stitch them in letters to cover your scars.
But I am a storm with hands made of glass,
Breaking the hearts I just wanted to grasp.
If letting me go means I get to survive,
Then love me from shadows, but let me feel alive.
Just don’t forget me not all the way through,
I’ll still write these poems like prayers meant for you.
The night wraps tight like burial shrouds,
Each breath I take, the silence howls.
You are not here no one is.
Just shadows pressing in with vicious kiss.
I speak to walls that do not care,
To ghosts that never were quite there.
And every hour, darker still,
My mind, a blade, too sharp, too real.
You said you'd stay, or maybe not
Your words now blur, a tangled knot.
And I am left with thoughts that bite,
That whisper death beneath the light.
I'm not okay, though I pretend,
I break in places I can't mend.
And all these tears I try to hide
Are oceans swelling deep inside.
No anchor now, no hand to hold,
Just memories that burn so cold.
You vanished like a dream at dawn,
And I am here… but not for long.
So if you care, or if you see,
The flicker left inside of me
Don’t let me fade without a sound.
Don’t leave me here to slowly drown.
