Hollow Hearth

I walk past the window where the old light stayed

Tracing the shadows of yesterday

Your coffee cup is gone from the shelf

But I still find pieces of you in myself

The hallway echoes with a quiet sound

Like your footsteps coming back around

I keep the memories I cannot lose

Of the little moments we once knew

I miss where you used to be The empty side of the

bed, the space next to me

I call your name in the silence of the night

But only memories answer me tonight

I hold on to what we

were

Every faded picture, every whispered word

Even though you're somewhere I can't see

My heart still knows where you used to be

Maybe time will soften the pain I hide

Maybe these tears will learn how to dry

But some places never let you leave

Like the place where you used to be

I miss where you used to be The empty side of the

bed, the space next to me

I call your name in the silence of the night

But only memories answer me tonight I hold on to what we

were

Every faded picture, every whispered word

Even though you're

somewhere I can't see

My heart still knows where you

used to be
