Trapped In The Margins

A mistake from the past has returned to haunt me.

And you’re the one I want to turn to.

The one that could make things right with their presence.

I searched for something to ground me.

The voicemail I refuse to delete.

Your voice was full of concern or so I thought.

Really it was fear.

But the words “I love you” fell from your lips.

They made me feel whole again.

Now it’s just another reminder that you’re not here.
