What Am I? The Silence Between Us

The face I knew is fading day by day,

You smile at me, but do not know my name.

I sit in silence, unsure what to say.

We talked for hours once, with hearts on display,

Now memories retreat like embers' flame.

The face I knew is fading day by day.

You laugh at shadows, lost in yesterday,

Your mind adrift in some forgotten frame.

I sit in silence, unsure what to say.

A thousand stories locked and tucked away,

Each moment blurs, no faces stay the same.

The face I knew is fading day by day.

The stillness hurts in such a cruel way,

As if love’s echo whispers in my shame.

I sit in silence, unsure what to say.

If only I could lead you back, I’d pray,

But all I can do is play this grim game.

The face I knew is fading day by day.

I sit in silence, unsure what to say.
