Midnight talk to me, city whisper sins

Midnight talk to me, city whisper sins Footsteps behind me, or it’s all in my skin Heart beat slow like it learned how to wait Every wrong move seal another fate POV mind cracked, locked in a maze Street taught lessons in the hardest way Trust went missing, love got erased Only thing left is a stare with no face Names on the wall that I don’t say loud Eyes in the dark, I don’t look back now Words turn quiet when I enter the room Breath get heavy, feel the shift in the mood I remember the first time the line got crossed Not by a blade — by something I lost A look, a choice, one moment too far After that night I wasn’t who they are I move with the shadow, it follow my lead Every bad memory planted a seed Now they grow tall when the lights go low Past start knocking like it want me to know Hands feel cold even when they clean Sleep don’t come, I replay the scene Not what I did — but what it cost Every step forward, something else lost Hood know my walk, silence my name They don’t ask questions, they feel the change Eyes don’t blink, jaw stay tight I don’t hunt — I end long nights POV dark, soul shut tight No prayers left, just wrongs and rights If judgment come, I won’t explain I been living in it, again and again No crown, no throne, just weight I carry Thoughts move fast but my face stay steady When the sun rise, I’m still awake Counting the things I couldn’t save
