Echoes of You

(Verse 1)

The silence screams where your voice used to roar,

And every slammed door, echoes to my core.

I flinch at shadows, that dance across the night,

Each gentle touch, a ghost of your cruel might.

(Verse 2)

The mirror shows a stranger, worn and thin,

A map of old battles, etched deep within.

Your words replay, a twisted lullaby,

"You're nothing," they whisper, as my spirit starts to die.

(Chorus)

You built a cage of fear, I can't escape,

These phantom chains, they bind me to your shape.

The world's a threat, a man's a loaded gun,

My trust is shattered, my new life's barely begun.

(Bridge)

They say "move on," "forget the pain,"

But how do I erase, the acid rain?

The nightmares come, a brutal, nightly show,

Where your hands still grasp, and your cruel words still flow

(Verse 3)

I walk the streets, a ghost among the crowd,

Each passing glance, a scream inside, aloud.

Their laughter's foreign, a distant, hollow sound,

I'm trapped inside my head, on broken ground.

(Verse 4)

My bed's a battlefield, where sleep won't come,

My body's tense, my senses numb.

The darkness holds you, in its cruel embrace,

You're gone, but still I see your face.

(Chorus)

You built a cage of fear, I can't escape,

These phantom chains, they bind me to your shape.

The world's a threat, a man's a loaded gun,

My trust is shattered, my new life's barely begun.

(Outro)

A flicker of defiance, in my weary eyes,

I'll learn to breathe again, beneath these skies.

The scars remain, a story to be told,

I'll rise from ashes, brave and strong and bold.
