Lyric

You signed the page

Before I spoke

Called it clean

And let it close

The room stayed cold

The light stayed thin

My name was there

But not within

You made it small

You made it neat

A quiet line

I could not read

You marked it as closed

While I was still there

Still holding the part

You left out of air

You marked it as closed

Like nothing was owed

But something in me

Never got home

No one asked twice

No one looked back

The blank in the file

Was all I had

You kept your voice

So level, so clear

I kept the bruise

No one could hear

I do not need

A louder proof

I know the shape

Of what you removed

You marked it as closed

While I was still there

Still holding the part

You left out of air

You marked it as closed

Like nothing was owed

But something in me

Never got home

The case went still

The lights went low

But I was not finished

Being known
