Midnight on Read

I left my pride on the nightstand,

Right next to your name in red.

We ain’t spoken since last Friday,

But your ghost’s still in my bed.

You say, “Don’t catch feelings,”

But you left some on my skin.

And now I’m scrolling through our silence,

Wonderin’ who you would’ve been.

Don’t act like we ain't carved in ink,

You the tattoo I can’t rethink.

If this was nothin’, why’s it sting—

Every time your phone don’t ring?

Midnight on read,

Heart full of texts I never send.

You got my love on slow thread,

Hanging like a song you never end.

Girl, I’m not tryna chase,

But I’m caught up in your space.

It’s 2 a.m., you in my head—

Midnight on read.

I played it cool, you played it colder,

But your perfume’s on my shoulder.

We blurred the line, then you rewind—

Now I’m back to starting over.

You leave your lips in my voicemail,

No words, just soft inhale.

I should move, I should forget—

But your silence still details.

Don’t say, “It’s nothing” when you stare—

Girl, your eyes say you still care.

And I’m too grown to fake the script,

But too in deep to let it slip.

Midnight on read,

Heart full of texts I never send.

You got my love on slow thread,

Hanging like a song you never end.

Girl, I’m not tryna chase,

But I’m caught up in your space.

It’s 2 a.m., you in my head—

Midnight on read.

Tell me, are you up?

Are you staring at your screen too?

If we both feel the burn—

Why we acting brand new?

I'm done with these games in the dark,

Say the word, or break my heart…

Midnight on read,

Love stuck between what’s left unsaid.

You got me high on hope instead,

Drowning in a thread you never end.

Girl, I ain’t tryna beg,

But this tension’s got me wrecked.

Still 2 a.m., still in my head—

Midnight on read.

Midnight…

Read…

Say something,

Or set me free.
