I remember your voice. Its all I can think about, playing constantly like a record on repeat. A broken record, with shards of past longing and foolishness Cutting into my soul each time I listen Each **** a fresh reminder of your absence Scar tissue layered upon rectified hopes A mixtape of im sorry’s and I love you’s That I desperately long to crush Underneath the weight of your promise And my heavy, drunken eyes. Every night I futilely scramble to play a new song, Laden with silky melodies to help me drift to sleep But instead your laugh burns in the depth of my throat (or is that the alcohol?) which I clutch in an attempt to strangle out the last of your whispers and turn it off.
