Morning light a rusted blade
Slicing wounds that never fade
Dust motes dance in beams of gold
Frozen mockery silent and cold
Deep in drawers the letters lie
Ink bleeds out beneath the sky
Vows once burning hot and bright
Now blurred shadows lost to night
I try to trace your face again
But feel only paper grain
Time dissolves with cruel intent
Love and hate both slowly spent
Screen lights up then fades to black
Silence piles in every stack
Red missed calls a warning sign
A chasm deep a dividing line
Talking to the empty air
Walls swallow words they don't care
If time could rewind to that street corner
Would I let go would I be warmer
But regret flows one way only
To desolate ends stark and lonely
The busy tone rings in my head
Stinging ears leaving me bled
This sorrow has no place to rest
Growing wild in memory's nest
Pill box sits beside the bed
Expired since the morning spread
I swallow comfort past its date
Numbing pain accepting fate
Bitterness spreads across the tongue
Like the song when you were gone
Even relief is out of reach
Awake to tear beyond speech
We ran through rain side by side
Thinking fate we could outride
Now I stand in cold downpour
Shivering on reality's floor
Apologies unsaid unseen
Lost in neon's electric sheen
Can't 找回the warmth we knew
That initial heat forever new
If time could rewind to that street corner
Would I let go would I be warmer
But regret flows one way only
To desolate ends stark and lonely
The busy tone rings in my head
Stinging ears leaving me bled
This sorrow has no place to rest
Growing wild in memory's nest
Ink turns to ash gray and thin
Messages sink never begin
Expired pills love 失效
In morning light I decay slow
