Wall of Words - Shyboy

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
