an act

In the back of my mind, I replay the scene, Thoughts of you haunt me like a ghost in a dream, Heart cold as ice, but I’m numb to the pain, Lost in the shadows, only silence remains. You were my ride or die, now it’s just me, Echoes of laughter drown in the misery, Thought I’d shed tears, but the well's run dry, In this dark space, I’m questioning why. (Verse 2) Memories flicker like a candle’s last glow, Fighting through the darkness, but I’m losing the flow, Every step I take feels heavy like lead, You’re gone, but the thoughts keep spinning in my head. I wear a mask, smile, but it’s all just a lie, In the back of my mind, you died, and I didn’t cry, Searching for answers in a world so bleak, But the silence screams louder, it’s the truth that I seek Verse 1) In the shadows where the pain don’t fade, Thoughts creep in, like a debt that’s unpaid, Someone dying in the back of my mind, But I’m numb to the struggle, leaving it behind. Lost in the hustle, the grind don’t stop, Heart cold as ice, I’m climbing to the top, Echoes of the past, they whisper and taunt, But I roll with the punches, got dreams I’ll haunt. (Verse 2) Dark nights, city lights, plotting my escape, Life’s a heavy price, but I’m sealing my fate, Caught in the chaos, where the silence screams, A ghost in the rearview, chasing broken dreams. I’m a soldier in this war, no time for regret, Put my heart on the line, but I’m placing my bet, Someone fading away, but I’m blind to the signs, In this game of survival, I’m drawing the lines
