MIZZZZ

I keep thinking I'm too quiet, Too easy to pass through like a fading light. Never good enough, never quite aligned, So I hide my heartbeat somewhere out of sight. Then you broke the silence with a whisper, Soft enough to slip between the noise of time. Like a star brushing past my shoulder, Gone too quick, But it lit a fragile corner of my mind. --- I reached out to hold it, But all I caught was the cold. Like my memory let the words escape, And only let the feeling take control. --- I can't remember what you said, But I remember tears rising to the edge. Funny how the things that cut the deepest Never need a sentence to confess. I can't remember what you said, But the echo stays inside my chest. A single spark Falling through the dust of this red-stained world, The more I chase it, The less I hold. --- You didn't give me just a line, You opened up a room I never knew was mine. All the doubts I wore like armor Cracked beneath the quiet of your light. I tried to bring that moment back, But it stayed somewhere the waking world can't find. Maybe fate rewrote the conversation Just to move One hidden string inside my spine. --- I can't remember what you said, But I remember how the world stood still. Maybe every word we fail to keep Is the one that knows what we truly feel. I can't remember what you said, But the echo keeps on ringing through. And somehow losing all the lines Only brings me closer Back to you. --- No, I can’t recall the message, But I recall the way I shook— A moment shorter than a heartbeat, But longer than a lifetime When I looked at you.
