Map of Absence

A quiet unraveling. Conversations unsaid. “Map of Absence” is about emotional distance — the kind that grows silently between two people still sharing the same space.

Verse 1

You speak like you’re remembering
Someone I used to be
Eyes on the wallpaper
Not on me

The light cuts through the evening
But never reaches the floor
You’re half a room away
And drifting more

Verse 2

You pour the coffee slowly
Like time owes us a debt
A quiet kind of mercy
In things we don’t regret

Your shadow moves beside me
But never quite in sync
I say your name out loud
Just to watch you blink

Chorus

Draw me a map of absence
Trace where we used to stand
Your hands were once a promise
Now they don’t understand

Say it without the silence
If there’s a truth to tell
But I’ve learned to read the quiet
All too well

Bridge

I don’t need forgiveness
But I’d take your eyes again
If just for a second
You saw me like you did back then
