A Rose In The Fog (A Love Divided Part VI)

⸻ [Verse 1] I should have died beneath the waves But darkness pulled me close instead A kiss of blood, a stranger’s hand And love that rose where hope had fled He found me lost and gave me name A life beyond the cliff and rain With him I danced through endless night And knew what it meant to be alive ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Still, some ghosts are hard to free So here I stand beneath the trees To see the man who let me go Before eternal night , and snow ⸻ [Chorus] Still in my dress Still made of grace A silent echo at her grave Not yours to keep, not here to stay But once I loved you — far away And now I came… To give you peace today ⸻ [Verse 2] You see me there and pale with fear Your voice cracks softly through your tears You ask, “Are you… the one I lost?” And fall apart beneath the cross You tremble, broken, full of shame And whisper, “Please, forgive the pain” I kneel beside your wrinkled hands And gently speak — not to blame ⸻ [Bridge – soft, spoken/sung] I reach to touch your weathered face You flinch — as if I’ll disappear But gently, I just ask you this: “Were you happy? Did you hold her near? Your voice is fragile, barely whole You nod and whisper, “Yes… I loved her so.” I smile and say, “Then that’s enough.” And let you go… with all my love ⸻ [Final Chorus] Still in my dress Still full of light Not here to haunt, not here to fight You loved her well — you chose your path And I have found my love at last So let me go… into the night ⸻ [Outro] No bitterness, no need for wrongs Just peace and fog and distant songs And in my place, a single rose Where once I stood… No one now knows
