Echoes in the Silence

You sit there scrolling on your phone

Eyes so distant, I feel alone

You say 'it’s nothing,' but nothing has grown

Between your words, I see a place unknown

Cold replies and heavy sighs

You’re drifting further every night

Are you holding secrets just behind your smile?

Or is my quiet breaking you all the while?

Blame circles ‘round me, you let it fall

Everything’s my fault until you don’t call

Tell me, am I losing you or chasing shadows on the wall?

I fold our memories in the drawer

Afraid to ask, you love me less than before

Your laughter sounds rehearsed and tired

I miss the boy who once sparked my fire

Faded texts and empty plans

I reach for you but can’t understand

Are you holding secrets just behind your smile?

Or is my quiet breaking you all the while?

Blame circles ‘round me, you let it fall

Everything’s my fault until you don’t call

Tell me, am I losing you or chasing shadows on the wall?

Your eyes won’t meet mine anymore

I keep knocking on a locked door

If there’s someone new, just let me know

Don’t keep me hanging onto hope

Are you holding secrets just behind your smile?

Or is my quiet breaking you all the while?

Blame circles ‘round me, you let it fall

Everything’s my fault until you don’t call

Tell me, am I losing you or chasing shadows on the wall?Tell me, am I losing you?

Or chasing shadows on the wall?

Silence answers most of all
