A Thousand Whispers

A thousand whispers wrap around me They’re all your voice but it just can’t be You left me here so long ago I listen closely, now I know It’s all the times you said, “I love you” Words I thought were really true They came so freely from your lips But cost me dearly, made me slip To the edge of despair as you walked away A state I’m in to this very day I try to ignore them, they won’t get out They turn from a whisper into a shout Taunting me, haunting me, driving me mad They make me regret the love that we had But I don’t regret it, it’s part of my life Glorious days when you were my wife So I live with your voice inside of my head Wishing most days that I was dead But each time I try to put down the pain I hear you whisper “I love you” again.
