Voice

Voice The pain slowly drips down the walls I stare, I remember, the horror of it all Fast, slow, the pulse variates to move From nothing, that I have to ‘prove’ Your actions speak every single day As they have since the past, I put away You say you don’t care if you go … --- To that other place --- Oh, how I remember your blank face Your conscience left you so long ago I’m not sure when, but I witnessed, I know You’ve hurt so many people, on this long road If you’re reading this, there is no code For you know what I mean, every word I say This ‘voice’ you will never, ever take away!
