Your Voice

Persona: Elizabeth describing John:

Your voice sounds like deceit
Secrets and lies that keep you away
The burden you brought into this marriage
The dagger you stabbed into my heart

Your voice sounds like regret
A mistake that lives and burns within you each and everyday
A mistake that meant more than I can ever say

Your voice sounds like sorrow
That asks for forgiveness
Forgiveness that will take time to achieve

Your voice creates fire
That burns a hole into our marriage
But your voice also creates water
Which one day, will wash away your deceit
