Ghost of Your Goodbye

Oh. Mmm. The candles burn like midnight stars, your shadow lingers

on my walls. I trace the lines of where we were, but time just

slips beyond my call. The phone still hums your old refrain,

a melody I can't erase. The silence screams your name again in every hollow,

empty space. Oh, hello, it's me,

the one you left behind. Whispered heartache in the echoes

of my mind. Like a record stuck on all our worn-out

lies, I keep singing to the ghost of your goodbye.
