You were the one who saw my mess The blackest shadow in my chest You held it close You made it rest A quiet storm I can’t contest Forever carved into my bones Your name’s a hymn Your voice a tone No map to trace where love had flown You’re the ache I call my own I wear the weight of days gone pale Your absence howling like a gale A man who hides A heart turned frail A ship that sailed But left its trail Regret’s a whisper Loss a sound They echo deep They circle ‘round Your ghost in silence I have found A tethered soul to shaky ground Forever carved into my bones Your name’s a hymn Your voice a tone No map to trace where love had flown You’re the ache I call my own I’ll keep this tremble in my hands A fragile thing I understand Our story written in loose strands A love that time could not withstand
