Echo Chamber

My mind is an echo chamber

​

I hear your voice bounce around my skull and fill my head with shattered memories

Sometimes your voice overlaps my own and I can’t even hear myself think

I used to feel lighter when I heard you speak

​

You used to be my favorite sound

Now your call keeps me chained to the bottom of this ocean I’m trapped underneath

I suffocate and watch the bubbles travel until I can’t even see them anymore

​

My brain cannot fathom how alone it has become

It replays dusty old memories when I finally win the battle to sleep

It clings to you and the warmth you left behind in my heart

​

I have to wonder if your echo will fade away like you did

Or if your voice will continue to shatter every piece of me you helped create

My mind is an echo chamber. You’ve replaced every thought I used to cherish.
