Drowning in the Silence

Midnight whispers in my ear,

Tracing patterns I can’t see.

Waking up in tangled dreams,

You’re the only ghost haunting me.

Raindrops tapping on my window,

Counting heartbeats, lying still.

I keep replaying how we let go,

Shadows crawling up the sill.

All the words we left unspoken

Still linger in the room—

Promises we can’t remember,

Love that couldn’t bloom.

Oh, I’m drowning in the silence,

But your echo’s all I hear.

Every tear becomes a memory

Pulling me so near.

If I could turn the morning

Back to when you said you’d stay,

Would the sunrise make you love me,

Or would you fade away?

Streetlights flicker, time is fading,

Footsteps lost along the way.

Every lonely song I write

Holds things I couldn’t say.

Can the night forgive our longing?

Will the dawn erase your name?

I’m haunted by the wonder—

Were we both afraid of pain?

Oh, I’m drowning in the silence,

But your echo’s all I hear.

Every tear becomes a memory

Pulling me so near.

If I could turn the morning

Back to when you said you’d stay,

Would the sunrise make you love me,

Or would you fade away?

We were two stars in November,

Shining out before the storm.

Now I hold on to the embers,

Wishing we were something more.

If love is just a season,

Why does winter never end?

I keep reaching for a reason

Just to let you in again.

Oh, I’m drowning in the silence,

But your echo’s all I hear.

Every tear becomes a memory

Pulling me so near.

If I could turn the morning

Back to when you said you’d stay,

Would the sunrise make you love me,

Or would you fade away?Midnight whispers soft and low,

I still feel you here somehow.

If ever you remember me,

Don’t let the silence drown you out.
