Echoes in Empty Rooms

Each day begins with the same old dread
No message sent, no kind word said
The world moved on, forgot my name
I linger here, alone with shame

No knock, no visit, no gentle sound
Just faded footsteps on empty ground
I sit in silence, far too still
As time rolls by against my will

They send a photo, a smiling face
But never stop by this quiet place
The phone lies cold beside my hand
Like all the plans they never planned

Once there was laughter in these walls
Now only echo answers my calls
Even the warmest memories fade
As connection slips like light to shade

They say they're busy, say they care
But when I reach, there's no one there
Left behind in yesterday’s light
Too tired to argue, too numb to fight

As twilight falls and shadows climb
I wonder if I crossed some line
Was I too much or just unseen?
A ghost where love has never been

And so I write, because I must
To shake the silence off like dust
Each line a cry, each word a plea
To be remembered quietly

So here I stay, still breathing slow
In rooms where only echoes grow
Waiting not for grand returns
Just a voice that gently burns
