Silent Experiment

I woke up slow with the window gray

Coffee gone cold but I stayed

awake Your name hung loose in the back of my mind Like

a note I meant to leave behind

Maybe I was waiting for a sign

Maybe I was wasting all my time

Test me now, I can take the fall

Call my bluff, I will tell it all If the room goes

quiet, let it stay I have nothing left to hide today

I wore my doubt like a borrowed coat

Every little word caught in my throat Now the air feels clear

and the floor feels still

Test me now

I am here

I am here
