Echoes Don’t Apologize 2

Echoes Don’t Apologize
I see your face in the cracks of the ceiling, mouthing words I never said
Every “what if” wraps tight like a noose, dragging me back to the day you bled
Time didn’t heal—just hushed the screams and dressed the wound in rot
The mirror’s a bastard, throwing back lies with your ghost beside me
I was drunk on anger, deaf to the tremble in your voice when you tried to warn me
And I wore pride like a of thorns, too stubborn to bleed out the poison
Echoes don’t apologize—they just repe
Regret’s a song that doesn’t skip, just scrches and es
You’re gone but you haunt like a shadow stitched to my feet
I see you standing on the ledge in dreams, waiting for me to say don’t
But my tongue was a coward, and silence held the rope
I lit the mch and walked away before the fire asked for fuel
Guilt is a lover with claws, and she sleeps in my chest
I called it closure, but I know it was just my own selfishness dressed
You whispered goodbye through the phone—I missed it. I missed it. I missed it.
Now your title is a bruise I don’t let fade
A ttoo in my thro every time I try to pray
And every scream I swallow still tastes like your title
Echoes don’t apologize—they just fucking stay
