Your Absence Is Loud - ArlenaZara
I wake to silence
The bed is cold
The space beside me
Once had your hold
I speak your name
Into the air
But no one answers
You're not there
The pictures stare
Frozen in time
The echoes of love
And I feel like crying
I reach for warmth
That isn't found
Your absence is loud
It shakes the ground
I thought love meant
You would never leave
But your shadow haunts me
And makes me grieve
Every corner
Every street
Reminds me of the love
We couldn't keep
Your absence is loud
It screams in every room
It follows me like a ghost
It fills the empty gloom
I gave my heart
I gave my all
But now I stumble
Now I fall
Your absence is loud
And I can't escape its sound
I walk through memories
We made
Through laughter that has turned
To shade
I try to smile
I try to breathe
But every step I take
I grieve
I talk to shadows
I talk to air
Hoping somehow
You're still there
But the truth is hard
The truth is cruel
I'm living in a world
You left untrue
I thought our love
Would light the night
But now I'm lost
Without your light
Every heartbeat
Every sound
Echoes how your love
Is gone
Your absence is loud
It screams in every room
It follows me like a ghost
It fills the empty gloom
I gave my heart
I gave my all
But now I stumble
Now I fall
Your absence is loud
And I can't escape it
Maybe one day
I'll hear it fade
Learn to live without the ache
You made
But tonight I'm still here
Haunted by the love that disappeared
I'll gather strength from what remains
Even if it hurts
Even with the state
Your absence is loud
It screams in every room
It follows me like a ghost
It fills the empty gloom
I gave my heart
I gave my all
But now I stumble
Now I fall
Your absence is loud
And I'll learn to live somehow
Your absence is loud
And I still feel
