When night falls I hear you again Through flickering lights and the distant streets It’s not sorrow, it’s not even pain Just something that breathes inside of me Time stands still in this empty room Shadows stretching across the bed You appear without meaning to Like a habit living in my head You live in the margins of my mind Like the Moon — distant yet defined So beautiful, so far from reach Always watching, never speaking You’re not here, yet you never leave You return when the world falls asleep There are dead moments in the after-hours A cold presence enters my space It freezes my body without warning And I know it’s you in that shape You don’t speak, you don’t make a sound You just watch me from the dark Not memory, not fantasy Just something that refuses to leave You live in the margins of my mind Like the Moon — distant yet defined So beautiful, so far from reach Always watching, never speaking You’re not here, yet you never leave You return when the world falls asleep Cold light bleeding through the blinds Restless echoes of passing cars I awaken but you remain Somewhere buried in who we are You live where my silence grows Like the Moon no one ever holds So distant, yet painfully clear Forever circling, always near You’re not here, yet you never leave Just a ghost that refuses to sleep
