I'm tying the noose to tighten up these loose ends, The threads of your absence unravel and bend. Love slipped through my fingers like grains of cold sand, And I'm left clutching nothing, just air in my hand.

I called out your name, but the silence replied, An echo that lingered where hope slowly died. You were the light that I reached for in vain, But I only found shadows and swallowed the pain.

I'm tying the noose with whispers of grief, Each twist a reminder, each loop disbelief. The promises hollow, the kisses grown cold, I’m bound to the memory of what never took hold.

Your silence was poison, it seeped through my skin, I kept knocking on doors that would never let me in. I gave you my all, but you took it with ease, Left me with nothing but empty pleas.

The weight tightens slowly, it closes my breath, The longing I carried, it chokes me to death. No one to witness the fall or the fight, Just me and the darkness collapsing tonight.

I tied the noose, and I tied it too tight, In hopes to forget you, in hopes to feel right. But even as I fall, I can't seem to descend, For the hurt still holds me, it just doesn't end.

I’m letting go now, but it’s not really release, Just a surrender to sorrow, a fragile peace. And as I fade quietly, where nobody sees, I leave behind the love that brought me to my knees.
