Wall of Words

Yellowed papers
Written in your hand
Paint a picture
That I still can’t understand
Faded phrases
From the pen you’d hold
Hint at the warm nights
But your words, they leave me cold
Page by page
Forever slips away
Goodbye without a trace
Our days have been erased
You left so much to say
For all you said
Farewell has been replaced
You couldn’t stand and face the end
You left this wall of words instead
A storm of questions
Rains across my mind
Was there something missing
That I could not help you find?
Page by page
It always reads the same
Goodbye without a trace
Our days have been erased
You left so much to say
For all you said
Farewell has been replaced
You couldn’t stand and face the end
You left this wall of words instead
Shattered memories
Here inside my heart
Every piece revealing
Hindsight in the dark
You closed the door
Didn’t tell me you were leaving
But there’s so much more to say
If it all could be replayed
Would it matter anyway?
Goodbye without a trace
Our days have been erased
You left so much to say
For all you said
Farewell has been replaced
You couldn’t stand and face the end
You left this wall of words instead
