Echo

Unedited mostly

I could hear your voice in the distance
Your southern accent carried over through the phone
I could just barely hear it
The emotions stirred in my soul
The crack in my heart splits a little deeper
An icy wind blew through making my breath catch
I can still hear your voice in the distance
It carries across the country
It traveled with me from the past
Lingering for a year
No matter how much I try to clean out my mind
Or to refresh my brain
It does not fade
It stays an unending echo
Maybe it takes more time
But how long can an echo continue on?
