The Voice That Never Leaves
I can’t silence my head away from it

The Voice That Never Leaves
A path that keeps repeating what I knew,
It winds through shadows where my voice remains,
The past returns with echoes I pursue.
I try to leave the memories behind too,
Yet still they pull me back through hidden lanes,
A path that keeps repeating what I knew.
Regret becomes a thread I can’t undo,
A silent weight that whispers through my veins,
The past returns with echoes I pursue.
I walk the nights though nothing feels like new,
The world around me hums with quiet pains,
A path that keeps repeating what I knew.
Desire lingers, shaping what I do,
It binds my steps and tugs at all my chains,
The past returns with echoes I pursue.
I raise my voice, though trembling, faint, and true,
Still haunted by the lessons life ordains,
A path that keeps repeating what I knew,
The past returns with echoes I pursue.

I've been writing poetry since the age of fourteen. With pen in hand, I wander through realms unseen. The pen holds power; ink reveals hidden thoughts. A poet may speak truth or weave a tale. You decide. Let pen and ink capture your mind❤️

Good luck in the challenge, Miss Marie. This is a poem that will make one look at oneself more closely.
This is filled with melancholy and love. It is a gorgeous villanelle, Marie. Good luck on the challenge!
Woah, Marie As someone who is learning to break the pattern of cyclical thoughts and dead-end actions I recognized myself in every line. A masterfully completed poem and a villanelle at that! Thank you for sharing your talent
