Whispers through darkness

I count my apologies on the walls at night, Each one etched where your voice used to live. I speak to you through cracks in my skull, Convincing myself, you can still hear me. I miss you in a way that corrodes time, Every second loops back to your absence. Your name rattles inside my ribs like bones, I laugh softly when the room answers back. Please don’t leave me alone with my thoughts, They keep dressing themselves in your face. I’d lose what’s left of my mind for your return, Because loving you is the only madness I trust.
