Part Forever

I still trace your name on the windowpane, where the frost and the rain both sting the same.
Your coffee cup is cold on the sill, and the ghost of your laugh is haunting still.
I packed your things in a cardboard box, but my heart keeps wearing your old gray socks.
Every streetlight hums a tune we knew, and I hum it back, but it's not you.
Heart forever, heart again. We're a wound that never heals, a lock without a key.
Heart forever, break the chain.
But I'm still bleeding red where you used to be.
Oh, I said goodbye a thousand times, but my soul still writes your name in rhyme.
Heart forever. That's the lie I tell myself.
When I can't put your picture back on the shelf.
I don't regret the fire we made, just the ashes that we left in the shade.
I lost my compass when you left the room.
Now I'm navigating by the ghost of your perfume.
The ring you gave me, I threw in the sea, but the tide just brought it back to me.
It's a cruel joke, this gravity.
It keeps pulling me to what used to be.
Heart forever, heart again. We're a wound that never heals, a lock without a key.
Heart forever.
Heart forever, break the chain.
But I'm still bleeding red where you used to be.
Oh,
I said goodbye a thousand times, but my soul still writes your name in rhyme.
