Room 424

The walls were white, the lights were low

Machines hummed soft, they whispered slow

The clock hands moved, but time stood still

And all I wanted was your voice to fill

The silence in this room

The space you left too soon

I didn't ask you to stay

Didn't beg you to care

But every night I hoped you'd be there

Say anything

A word, a sound

A breath that breaks the quiet down

Say anything

To prove I'm not

As gone as I feel when you're not around

I don't need your love to save me

Just wanted you to face me

Say anything

I watched the shadows climb the wall

The IV drip, the curtains fall

Your ghost kept pacing through my head

As the nurses came and left instead

And all I could do was wait

For a message that never came

You said you'd always care

But you weren't there

I guess silence was your prayer

Say anything

A word, a sound

A breath that breaks the quiet down

Say anything

To prove I'm not

As lost as I feel when you're not around

I don't need your love to save me

Just wanted you to face me

Say anything

I let you go, I gave you space

Hoped time would bring you back someday

But distance grew where love once stayed

And I still wait... I still wait

Say anything

Even if it hurts, even if it's goodbye

Say anything

Let the silence die

I don't need forever or a reason why

Just say anything

Before this part of me

Stops listening
