Empty Hallways

I left the porch light on for you Like it could hold

the night in place

Your name is dust on my tongue I taste the goodbye I

didn't say Every step I take at home Finds a space where

you used to be

I tell myself I'm fine But the ceiling knows I'm lying

If you ever turn around Will you recognize me trying

You left me in the middle of my own life Doors open,

but I can't walk through

If love was a promise,

why'd it burn so bright Then fade out into something I can't

undo

I'm not angry, I'm empty and it's true

I keep reaching for you

I packed your sweater in a box

Like winter's something I can fold

Your coffee cup is still my clock

It keeps the morning feeling old Friends say time will do its

work But time just learns your shape

If you call, I'll say I'm over it

But my hands will start to shake

I learned to smile through all of it Still,

I break
