Ashes in our sheets

It's not the silence that kills me It’s the memory of your voice still echoing in the quiet. We touched God, and now I’m choking on the ashes. Tell me — how did something so alive die without a sound? We was wild, love heavy like summer heat, Sweat drippin' off bodies tangled in satin sheets. You’d whisper in my ear like the world ain't real, Every moan a promise, every touch could heal. Laughed in the kitchen, wine stains on the floor, Fought, then f***ed like thunder behind closed doors. Heartbeats synced, nights never felt so right, Even in silence, we’d still ignite. But love ain't just the highs, it’s the lows too, Like the times you’d cry and I didn’t have a clue. Toxic kisses, jealous glances, Still danced on the edge like hopeless romantics. Now it’s ashes in our sheets, Ghosts in the bed where we used to meet. You were my drug, now I’m in withdrawal, Tryna patch up the cracks in these bedroom walls. I gave you the codes, you changed the locks, Love letters turned to screenshot talk. Every "I love you" now sound like a lie, And I’m sittin’ here wonderin' who else made you cry. You said forever, I felt it too, But forever got short when you found someone new. Now I see your smile and I just see fake, Replayin’ your lies with every breath I take. We was Bonnie and Clyde, now it’s just drive-bys, Emotions weaponized, truth under disguise. The love was real, but the end? Colder. Now I’m just a name you scroll past, older. How we go from soulmates to strangers? From whisperin’ dreams to silent dangers? I’d bleed for you — now I just bleed through ink, Spillin’ my pain 'cause I can't even think. F*** that, I ain't beggin’ for your ghost no more, Tired of knockin’ on a love that slammed the door. You broke me, yeah, but I rise through flames, Burned your pics, deleted your name. You ain't the end — just a lesson in disguise, A storm I survived, now watch me rise. No more tears, no more replayed nights, Just me, my scars, and the hunger to fight. You thought I'd drown in the wreck you made? I’m a tsunami now — better be afraid. Yeah we were fire, now I’m ice And baby you know what Ice cuts twice. #McCP'ssongs #Ashesinoursheets
