Loneliness is a dirty word

Four letters it's not

But it reeks just the same

I wonder if you can smell its burn

As I chime your memories

Through my mind

Grasping for that last silhouette

Any lingering skeleton of your friendship

I relish the images

And the stench of isolation sharpens

Chime

Chime

Chime

Chime

Ironic how good it hurts

I must embrace the pain

Of your absence to realize

And claim all that you gave me

And claim all that you gave me

So much I could’ve, should’ve said

But I held you in parenthеses

And thought that was enough

So much I could’ve, should’vе said

But I held you in parentheses

And thought that was enough

We were each other’s promise

But too scared to pull our own hangnail

It remains daytime

We were each other’s promise

But too scared to pull our own hangnail

It remains daytime

Now I know

Everything left unsaid

Was not understood
