Your Name Is the Only Ghost I Keep

I try to change the way this room remembers You. Move things around, but it still feels like you. I've been in crowded places just to feel less Alone, But somehow every noise still sounds like home. I threw away the pictures, cleared out every space, But I still see you in the smallest place. Your name shows up in moments I don't expect, Like something in me I just can't disconnect. I keep staring at the wall like it might Explain why some things leave but never really Change. Your name is the only ghost I keep In this room. The only thing I lost that still feels like Truth. I tried to lock it out, but it found Its way inside. Now there's nowhere left in me to hide. I'm not stuck, I just don't know what to Do When every part of me still leads to you. I wake up reaching out to empty space, Like my body still remembers your place. I don't say it out loud, I just carry It quiet like something I'm learning not to fight. I act like I'm fine, like it's all in The past, but some things don't fade, They just last. It's not the same, but it's not gone. It's something I keep living on. Your name is the only ghost I keep in This room. The only thing I lost that still feels like Truth. I tried to lock it out, but it found Its way inside. Now there's nowhere left in me to hide. I'm not stuck, I just don't know what to Do when every part of me Still leads to you. Maybe it's not about letting go. Maybe it's just learning to live with it slow. Not every love gets to end clean. Some just stay in between. Your name, Still somewhere in this room. Not loud, Not gone, Just something I live through.
