Still Here

Evening sits beside my bed

Rooms hear things I never said

No footsteps coming down the hall

Just the clock against the wall



Silence knows my full name

Nothing here feels quite the same



I stay quiet, I don’t leave

Loneliness is all I keep

If the world forgets my face

I remain in this place



Borrowed days, borrowed breath

Letters weigh more than regret

Gratitude feels sharp and thin

Cuts me deeper from within



I don’t ask to be understood

I just sit where I always stood



I stay quiet, I don’t leave

Loneliness is all I keep

If the world forgets my face

I remain in this place



Stars are loud, the night is wide

Every thought has nowhere to hide

I dissolve without a sound

Still my heart keeps looking around



I stay quiet, I don’t leave

This is all I can believe

Even gone, even erased

I remain in this place
