The Silence You Left Behind

poprappiano

(Verse 1)
The night still hums your lullaby,
A fading echo in the sky.
I reach for you through empty air,
But find the ghost of you still there.

(Verse 2)
Your shadow sleeps upon my wall,
A quiet ache beneath it all.
The stars still shine, but not as kind,
Since you walked out and left me blind.

(Chorus)
Oh, the silence you left behind—
It speaks in whispers, cruel and kind.
Every tear that falls from me,
Writes your name in memory.

(Bridge)
If love was meant to fade away,
Why does your scent refuse to stray?
You’re gone, but still, I breathe your name,
A gentle wound that feels the same.
