Your melody once filled this place
Now silence sings in every space
I hum your tune in minor keys
The echo's cold, but bittersweet
Between the chords, I feel the ache
Of everything we didn't make
In the space between each note
Lies every word we never wrote
The music stops, but won’t let go
Your song still plays too soft, too slow
Resting beat and quiet tone
A song unfinished, sung alone
The silence plays what we once meant
A love that lingers, instrument
