I was just a name on her paper heart

Fell too fast, now we’re torn apart

She said forever through a cigarette sigh

But forever’s just a word when the truth’s a lie

Now I'm staring at bars not stars

Writing lines beneath prison scars

Her perfume still haunts my skin

But the judge said “guilt,” not “might’ve been”

These are my letters from the inside

From a place where the broken never hide

Each word bleeds through the page

Love and loss locked in a cage

You say you never meant to run

But baby, that bullet already spun

They saw my skin, not my soul

One look and I played their role

Accused, confused, no alibi

Just echoes of a lover’s cry

She wept in court like she didn’t know

How we danced fast and talked slow

But lies make better stories told

Especially when your heart's grown cold

These are my letters from the inside

To the girl who once stood by my side

You kissed me like I’d never fall

Then testified to watch me crawl

You said you never meant me harm

But baby, you fired the alarm

If freedom ever finds my name

Would you still whisper it the same?

Or am I just a ghost in rhyme

Doing time for your perfect crime?

These are my letters from the inside

Written slow so my truth won’t die

You traded love for sweet revenge

And left me here without defense

I’m just a name behind these walls

But even shadows write when silence calls
