Ghosting

I'm staring at the bubbles that are never gonna pop

I'm waiting for the silence of the other shoe to drop

I'm putting down the phone and i'm looking at the wall

I saw you posted photos and you're laughing with the rest

While i'm sitting with this heavy hollow feeling in my chest

I'm making myself busy so i don't have to call

You said that we were family and you said it was for life

I'm cutting out the pieces with a very quiet knife

It's the slow ghosting the fading of the light

Watching you dissolve into the middle of the night

I'm holding on to memories that you've already burned

Looking for a loyalty that never was returned

How can you let a decade just evaporate and die

Without the simple mercy of a proper goodbye

Are we okay

Just been really tied up

Nothing to say

The time has just dried up

You're turning our history into a blank screen

I'm the only one who's still keeping the flame

Stop pretending that you're still here

I got the message
