Not Part Of Her Story

She steps through the doorway, the room comes alive
Her laughter like thunder, I can't survive
I sit in the corner, a man out of time
Hiding a longing, I cannot define

I'm not in her plans, I don't fit her song
The gap in our years is too heavy, too long
I'm truth in the silence, a thought she won't keep
A name in the dark where the shadows run deep

She leans by the copier, stories to share
Her friends gather close, like I'm not even there
She speaks of the weekends, the nights still ahead
While I count the hours till I'm back in my bed

I'm not in her plans, I don't fit her song
The gap in our years is too heavy, too long
I'm truth in the silence, a thought she won't keep
A name in the dark where the shadows run deep

If I spoke my truth it would shatter the ground
She'd turn away and I'd watch her drown me out
So I burn in silence, a fire concealed
A love too heavy, a wound never healed

I was never her plan, never part of her dreams
Too many divides tearing holes in the seams
I'm the voice in the walls, the line she won't trace
The ghost at her side in a crowded place

I was never her plan
Never part of her dreams
