Leash On The Table

Verse 1

Shivering hands, holding on

Glass eyes, cold leash gone

Your collar on the table, silent

My mouth, two words—empty

Fragile steps, fall through and through

Memories sink deeper each week

Every room stained by fur left behind

Heart racing, then stops, one beat

Chorus

But I am never alone

Someone’s hand always finds mine

Lonely howling at the moon, I know

You’re gone, but I’m not blind

Every ache forgiven, given time

I am never alone

Even in the night, someone stays

Even in the absence, love remains

Verse 2

Pawprints vanish, carpets bare

Door creaks, waiting for air

You don’t come back, but they do

A word

A touch

A human voice breaking through

I stagger, I stumble, then someone

Shows up to see the pain

Blue dawn cracking the window

Raw, wide, yet I’ll mend again

Chorus

But I am never alone

Someone’s hand always finds mine

Lonely howling at the moon, I know

You’re gone, but I’m not blind

Every ache forgiven, given time

I am never alone

Even in the night, someone stays

Even in the absence, love remains

Bridge

I lost my friend, but not my worth

Breathing love, even through dirt

Open arms for every scar

Spoken promise—wherever you are

Verse 3

Maybe shattered, always seen

Every sharp second, felt between

You’re not coming home but I’m not through

Crumbling, yet someone pulls me in, anew

Chorus

I am never alone

Someone’s hand always finds mine

Lonely howling at the moon, I know

You’re gone, but I’m not blind

Every ache forgiven, given time

I am never alone

Even in the night, someone stays

Even when you’re gone, love remains

I am never alone

Outro

Silent leash, morning sun

You’re still gone, but I move on
