When The Lights Went Quiet

You made coffee at 6:04,
Same mug, same seat, same kitchen floor.
But that day, you didn’t speak —
Just stared right through me,
Fragile, bleak.

I wanted words, but none would come,
The weight was there, but I was numb.
I stayed in place, I couldn’t scream —
Stuck in someone else's dream.

When the lights went quiet,
We stayed in the dark.
Two souls still breathing,
But ripped apart.
You cried in silence,
I burned inside.
No one left,
But something died.
When the lights went quiet —
So did we.

I watched your hands, they shook like leaves,
But I pretended not to see.
I feared the truth you tried to hide —
So I just stood there… paralyzed.

I begged for you without a sound,
A thousand pleas that never found
The you I knew, the man I missed —
Lost in a room we both exist.

When the lights went quiet,
We stayed in the dark.
Two souls still breathing,
But ripped apart.
You cried in silence,
I burned inside.
No one left,
But something died.
When the lights went quiet —
So did we.

I reached for you.
I felt it too.
I said “don’t go.”
I never knew.
I stayed.
I froze.
And that was how
We lost us both.

When the lights went quiet,
We faded slow.
Still side by side,
But nowhere to go.
You held your pain,
I kept mine too —
And silence did
What storms don’t do.
When the lights went quiet —
We disappeared.

When the lights went quiet,
We faded slow.
Still side by side,
But nowhere to go.
You held your pain,
I kept mine too —
And silence did
What storms don’t do.
When the lights went quiet —
We disappeared.
