It still hurts

Her voice lingers like the shadows in the static

Phone rings in silence, but the echoes are tragic

I’ve been running for miles, my shoes worn to a thread

Trying to escape the lies she bred in my head

She sends letters with ink like venomous vines

Every line keeps twisting and choking my mind

But I won’t read 'em so I just toss 'em to the flame

But I can’t, won’t let her rewrite my name

Why does she chase, when I’m running blind?

Why can’t I erase, what she left behind?

I burned the bridge, but the smoke won’t fade

She’s calling through the haze, but I’m unmade

I forget her face, but the scars still shout

What she gave me, I can live without

My side of the bed she leaves untouched

She’s filling the absence with a boy she fucked

Her calls unanswered, my silence a wall

But I still hear the whispers, above the sound of it all

The nights are loud, but my heart stays quiet

Her words like fists, put my thoughts in a riot

She’s the storm, I’m the sinking ship

Drowning in the lies that got me in this shit

Why does she chase, when I’m running blind?

Why can’t I erase, what she left behind?

I burned the bridge, but the smoke won’t fade

She’s calling through the haze, but I’m unmade

I forget her face, but the scars still shout

What she gave me, I can live without
