You’ll Miss Me

I begged you to stay, you chose the silence I broke in your hands, you called it kindness You left me on read, like I was nothing But now I'm the ghost, you'll dream of touching I gave too much, you gave me space Now you scroll through my empty place You thought I'd wait there endlessly But darling, watch what's left of me You'll miss me when I don't reply When someone else sees what you denied You'll miss the girl who begged you to stay But now she prays you walk away You'll miss me when it's not your name Lighting my screen in a midnight flame You'll miss the love you let decay But I'll be gone, and that's okay I whispered your name to all the healing You shouted silence, that's not feeling You'll trace me back in someone's sweater And wish you held my heart much better I gave too much, you gave me space Now you scroll through my empty place You thought I'd wait there endlessly But darling, watch what's left of me You'll miss me when I don't reply When someone else sees what you denied You'll miss the girl who begged you to stay But now she prays you walk away You'll miss me when it's not your name Lighting my screen in a midnight flame You'll miss the love you let decay But I'll be gone, and that's okay Don't text me when the nights get cold I'm not your navy to hold Regrets a song I'll play alone While I move on, unknown You'll miss me when I don't look back When I've erased our faded track You'll miss the warmth you used to hate But I've unlearned how much I break You'll miss me, that's your truth But I won't miss the ghost of you
