Love Remains - Trophy In the Shadows

© 2026 Daniel Claessens [Verse 1] She wore a ring, but I didn't care, Bound to another, yet caught in my stare. No chains could hold her from my hungry gaze, I chased the thrill, in forbidden haze. She promised nothing, but I saw the spark, A married flame, perfect for the dark. I whispered lies that made her heart race— Just for the conquest, to claim my place. [Pre-Chorus] No mercy, no doubt, no line I'd respect… [Chorus] I didn’t think, I simply pursued, Into her world, where the faithful brood. No tomorrow, no guilt, no name to defend, Just bodies entangled, no means to an end. We burned in silence, wild and unchecked, Now the victory whispers: “What’s next?” [Verse 2] Small talk turned wicked under shadowed light, She laughed too easy, igniting the night. “I know your vows,” I said with a grin, But the pull was electric, drawing her in. Her eyes were uncertain, mine sharp as a blade, Yet still she surrendered, in the game we played. I tasted the power I always pursued— Till the rush faded, and the hunt renewed. [Chorus] I didn’t think, I simply pursued, Into her world, where the faithful brood. No tomorrow, no guilt, no name to defend, Just bodies entangled, no means to an end. We burned in silence, wild and unchecked, Now the victory whispers: “What’s next?” [Bridge] It was only one night, one stolen prize, A trophy wife with fire in her eyes. She sought escape, I craved the win— Hot and untouchable, pulling me in. But the man she betrayed, loyal and blind, Never crossed my mind, left far behind. [Verse 3 / Final pursuit] Dawn broke sharp on a bed full of sin, Her scent still clinging, where it all began. The part of me grinning: “Another mark scored,” One heated chase, and the thrill restored. Does she whisper regrets, let the secrets spill? Or hide the fire, keep the embers still? Either way, the mirror shows a hunter true— Always seeking the next forbidden view. [Final Chorus – slower, more triumphant] I didn’t think… now I own the night, The ruin I sparked in her fractured light. I hunted the flame that wasn’t my own, Now I’m left with the echoes, fierce and alone. Does she break the truth… or savor the game? Either way, hunter, nothing’s the same. [Outro – soft, almost whispered] It was only once… Only once… But once was enough To claim the lust.
