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.
