Hold me

The quiet here is not the same As silence that I used to know. It has a shape, it has a name. A heavy weight that won't let go. I trace the lines upon my palm. The ones you said would tell the truth. They just remind me of the calm I lost somewhere inside my youth. And I'm still learning how to breathe In the space where you used to be. Every word I didn't say Just echoes off the walls and Stays. I built a home inside my head Of all the things I should have said. But now I'm talking to a ghost Of who I was when you loved me Most. The rain, it falls on different streets. It doesn't know your name or mine. It just repeats, repeats, repeats The way we ran out of time. I thought that love was holding tight. A fist around a fading flame. But I just learned to lose the fight, And you learned not to say my name. And I'm still learning how to Breathe In the space where you used to be. Every word I didn't say Just echoes off the walls and Stays. I built a home inside my head Of all the things I should have said. But now I'm talking to a ghost Of who I was when you loved me Most. If I could fold the hands of time, If I could find a way to rewind, I wouldn't ask for one more chance. Just one more minute in your glance to let You know, to let you see, you were the Only part of me that ever felt like coming Home. Now I'm just dust and I'm Alone. And I'm still learning how to stand Without your shadow on this land. Every step I try to take Just sinks into the same Mistake. I built a world upon a lie that love Like ours would never die. But now I'm staring at the Cold And the space where you Used to Hold me. Where you used to hold me. Where you used to Hold me.
