You are not there

Mug on the table Coffee gone cold Sink full of dishes Story untold Scroll through the same feed Nothing lands right Talking to shadows Late in the night It’s just hollow rooms and quiet air Every little echo says you’re not there I turn on every light But it’s all the same So much space And none of it has your name Chair by the window Indent from you Dust on the hardcover We never got through Your sweater still hanging Crooked on the door I keep walking past it Like I don’t know what for It’s just hollow rooms and quiet air Every little echo says you’re not there I turn on every light But it’s all the same So much space And none of it has your name I talk out loud Just to hear a sound hey Then swallow the words Before they hit the ground It’s just hollow rooms and quiet air Every little echo says you’re not there I turn on every light But it’s all the same So much space And none of it has your name
