Lonely

Cracked screen glow in the empty room Half-eaten cereal talks to the moon Static hum from the old cassette Whispers dreams I ain’t met yet Fingers trace the dust on the frame Echoes laugh but they don’t say names I’m lonely but the light still grows Through the cracks in the blinds it shows You’re a voice in the radio snow I’m lonely but the light still glows Shoes by the door still tied too tight Like the knots in my chest last night Polaroid stuck to the fridge with a sigh Fading colors but the spark won’t die Breath fogs up the window pane Drawing stars in the ghostly rain I’m lonely but the light still grows Through the cracks in the blinds it shows You’re a voice in the radio snow I’m lonely but the light still glows Static bursts into a song A dial tone hums along Wrong number or fate’s delay Either way I’ll wait all day Cracked screen glow fades to black But the light it flickers back
