Voices

I hear you in the walls I built

In every crack I tried to hide

Your name still echoes in my mind

Like a truth I never tried

I begged the quiet to forget me

But it only learned my face

Now every whisper sounds like you

And I can't escape this place

These voices don't belong to me

But they know just what to say

They sing the songs you left behind

And bleed into my yesterday

I try to drown them in the noise

But they always find a way

These voices don't belong to me

But they never walk away

You bloom like frost beneath the surface

A chill I let begin

You wove your hate into my heartbeat

And I let the damage win

I tried to rewrite every memory

But the words just scream regret

Scratched your name on every line

And I just haven't healed yet

These voices sound like versions

Of the love I couldn't save

They echo through the choices

I was too afraid to make

They haunt the parts I buried

And the ones I let you break

These voices all just sound

Like the price I chose to pay
