Falling

I kept your shadow in the hallway light

Like a secret I could never leave behind

Every silence echoes through these rooms

And every memory still blooms in blue

But your voice still pulls me under

Soft as rain against the thunder

If I let go now

Would the stars burn out without us?

If I close my eyes

Would your heartbeat still surround me?

I was holding all this fire alone

Trying not to disappear

But you found me in the dark

When the world became unclear

There’s a fragile kind of hope tonight

Like broken wings still learning how to fly

I was drowning in the weight of time

Until your hands pulled life back into mine

And the cold begins to fade now

Every wound becoming sacred somehow

If I let go now

Would the sky still fall around me?

If I speak your name

Will the silence finally free me?

I was hiding from the storm for years

Trying not to feel too much

But you reached into the dark

And reminded me of love

Stay here

When the daylight disappears

Stay near

Even if the ending’s close

I don’t want another ghost

So I’ll let go now

Let the ashes drift behind us

And I’ll breathe again

Knowing I survived the silence

All the shattered parts of me

Finally begin to heal

And for the first time in forever

This broken heart feels real
