Slow Burning Flame

Shadows fall where your touch used to stayBreathing slow in the dark that won't fade

We built a world with every glance we sharedNow the hours stretch long and unpreparedI trace the lines where your body once fitEvery sigh still echoes in the quiet

I reach across sheets that hold no warmthSearching for a spark that left too soon

This heartbreak moves like a slow burning flamePulling me under with no one to blameWe were skin on skin and promises deepNow I'm left with the nights that won't sleep

Your laughter lingers in the corners of my mindI taste the sweetness that I can't rewindThe way you pulled me close before the endStill lingers soft against my skin

This heartbreak moves like a slow burning flamePulling me under with no one to blameWe were skin on skin and promises deepNow I'm left with the nights that won't sleep

If I could whisper every unsaid wordI'd tell you how the silence hurtsBut time keeps turning pages I can't readAnd I'm learning how to breathe without the need

Heartbreak lingers but it learns to fadeIn the space where your memory stayed
