Where Silence Used to Sleep

That Autumn Didn’t End Properly

Curtains Whisper Her Silence Still

The House Sang in a Lower Key

We Never Finished That Afternoon

There Was Dust on Your Apology

A Goodbye That Practiced Itself

The Last Note Held Nothing of Us

She Faded Before the Refrain

I Waited for the Wrong Goodbye

The Room Chose to Forget Us

She Taught the Walls to Stay Quiet

And Then the Music Forgot Me Too

The Piano Knows What I Don’t Say
