The Lights Forgot Me

The streetlamp flickers like it knows my Name no more. Footsteps echo soft and thin. Cafes blink behind their glass, A blur in mist and wine. I'm just a shadow out of time. The lights forgot my name. They pass me like a ghost. No table waits, no eyes to raise a toast. This city's made of windows locked behind a Frame. The lights, They forgot my name. Ashtray full of ending conversations left Unsaid. Laughter floating up from other lives Instead. The jukebox plays for someone new. I hum the notes in vain. No one's listening, Just the rain. The lights forgot my name. My shadow's grown too thin. No lover's voice to call me home again. The benches know my silence. The wind still speaks the same. But still, The lights forgot my name.
