It used to sound like a tsunami; Crashing down with each word so deeply that they would echo around my head for days. Now; Your voice is more of a slow drip from the broken pipe under the sink; That Iβve been meaning to fix for the long part of a short while; The sound doesnβt resonate as loudly as it used too; More of a fading; "drip" "drip" "drip"; which comes and goes.
Your voice is no longer a symphony of sound that modulates in tone, forming melodies in my mind; Melodies which I used to catch myself humming too, more often than sometimes. Now; It is a mere text tone and a slight ding before lightening up the screen attempting to shine light through the darkness I have placed around the memory of you; You donβt shine so brightly anymore.
Your voice was once the sweet melody of a lullaby whoes words could softly sooth me to sleep; Now; You are the bare silence that incircles me in the early hours of the morning; Leaving room for your memory.
I have forgotten the sound of your voice. Simply because I have stop searching for you; In the tiny cracks of light the slip under my door; Or in-between the words of your favourite song. I have stopped searching for your name in conversation; and I have grown deaf to the sound of you.
There is no you anymore, just me; And the lovely sound of silence.
