Stop Adding Songs

If you love me

not just the memory of me

then stop adding songs

to a playlist

you never play out loud.

 

Stop hiding behind lyrics

when I’ve been begging for answers.

Stop sending 30 hours of maybe

when I asked one question

and got silence.

 

I don’t need a soundtrack.

I need truth.

 

If I’m still in your heart,

say it without music.

If I’m not,

don’t let the melody lie for you.

 

Because I’ve danced in silence long enough

and your playlist

can’t love me back.
