I miss you in the quiet hours, in morning light and passing showers. Your name still lingers in my chest— a ghost I made, who won't find rest. I dream of you with aching grace, then wake and can't forget your face. But every tender thought is chained to all the ways I caused you pain. I held a heart I didn’t earn, then lit a match and watched it burn. Now love feels like a cruel refrain— a song of guilt I can’t explain. If I could take it back, I would, rewrite the parts I misunderstood. But echoes only answer me— and none of them can set you free.

What I Broke
I miss you in the quiet hours, in morning light and passing showers. Your name still lingers in my chest— a ghost I made, who won't find rest. I dream of you with aching grace, then wake and can't forget your face. But every tender thought is chained to all the ways I caused you pain. I held a heart I didn’t earn, then lit a match and watched it burn. Now love feels like a cruel refrain— a song of guilt I can’t explain. If I could take it back, I would, rewrite the parts I misunderstood. But echoes only answer me— and none of them can set you free.
I wonder how you are doing? I miss those endless talks and laughter we had.
