The door swung wide, the night said nothing
But your silence clung like smoke on linen
I traced the scent you used to leave
It faded fast, but not from me
Too still to feel, too loud to breathe
The words you never said still speak
Lavender ash in the air I breathe
Soft, then gone, like you and me
Didn’t burn, just disappeared
But it’s the quiet that I still hear
The door swung wide, the night said nothing
But your silence clung like smoke on linen
I traced the scent you used to leave
It faded fast, but not from me
Too still to feel, too loud to breathe
The words you never said still speak
Lavender ash in the air I breathe
Soft, then gone, like you and me
Didn’t burn, just disappeared
But it’s the quiet that I still hear
