I Walk Alone
Tapas
3:32I don’t count the days anymore, They blur like rain on an old front door. Faces came and left like wind, I stopped asking where they’ve been. The coffee’s cold, the room stays still, I talk to the walls when I need to feel. No photos left upon the shelf— They only remind me of someone else. I’ve tried to fight, I’ve tried to run, But silence always weighs a ton. So let it be, just let it fall— The laughter, the names, I’ve lost them all. No need for tears, the well ran dry, I’ve forgotten even how to cry. Don’t reach for me, don’t try to see— There’s nothing left that used to be. Let it go. Let it bleed. Let it be. I’ve seen the truth in trembling hands, Watched love collapse like grains of sand. They promised fire and gave me frost— And I learned to carry what I lost. No letters come, no doors unlock, Time just ticks like a broken clock. But I’m not bitter, I’m not mad— Just tired of wishing for what I had. I’ve made my peace with standing still, Even ghosts grow quiet on this hill. So let it be, just let it go— Like footprints fading in the snow. No need to fix what’s past repair, Some hearts weren’t built for love to wear. Don’t look for light inside of me— I’ve buried it too carefully. Let it go. Let it bleed. Let it be. If someone asks what broke me down, Just say the world forgot to turn around. Let it be, just let it fade— The noise, the names, the plans we made. I’m not waiting at the gate, I’m not begging love to stay. If I’m a ghost, then let me sleep— No promises I’d want to keep. Let it go. Let it bleed. Let it be.
