Silent Threads

(ahhhh) My screen is dark,

the morning light is cold

No little green dot,

no story to be told

We used to share

the static in our heads

Now I am reading

old things that you said

(where are you)

Why did you turn

the signal down to zero

My closest friend,

my everyday hero

Left in the quiet,

wondering what went wrong

(what went wrong)

Four weeks have drifted by,

almost a month now

I try to make some sense,

but don't know how

Just empty spaces

where your words should be

A sudden wall between

you and me

(still nothing)

Did I say something wrong,

or did you fade away

No warning sign,

just silence on display

(just silence)

Why did you turn

the signal down to zero

My closest friend,

my everyday hero

Left in the quiet,

wondering what went wrong

(what went wrong)

Still looking at the screen

(mmmmm) Just a quiet month of green
