Messages I Left in the Dark

[Trap Soul]

[Verse 1]
I wrote you again,
Same pain, just a different pen.
You’ll never read it, I already know,
But I had to bleed it, had to let it go.

I saved the draft, but never hit send,
Too afraid of where that road might end.
So I tuck it in my notes and scroll past,
Another message from a love that didn’t last.

⸻

[Hook]
These are messages I left in the dark,
Typed out truth, then erased every part.
Said too much, then said nothin’ at all,
Held my peace when I wanted to call.

You won’t reply, and I won’t expect,
But I still send prayers through this disconnect.
Every word, every spark,
Are just messages I left… in the dark.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Remember when we said we’d never fold?
Now your silence louder than anything told.
I still scroll back to your name sometimes,
Like pain got a pattern I can’t unwind.

I ain’t bitter — I’m just stuck on pause,
Still askin’ why without breakin’ laws.
Maybe I’m writin’ just to feel seen,
Or maybe I’m mournin’ what could’ve been.

[Bridge – Filtered vocal, like a voice memo]
“Hey… I don’t even know if this makes sense.
I just needed to say it out loud.
Even if no one hears it but me.”

⸻

[Hook – repeat, soft & stripped]
These are messages I left in the dark,
Typed out truth, then erased every part.
Said too much, then said nothin’ at all,
Held my peace when I wanted to call.

Even if no light ever hits these lines,
At least they were real in my mind…
These messages I left… in the dark.
