Shattered Glow

The night breathes in slow A symphony of stars, yet I'm hollow Your voice echoes like whispers of rain Soft, yet it burns through the silence again I built a fortress out of fear But your light found every crack, every tear The weight of what we were, it lingers still Like a shadow I can't outrun, I never will And it's you, only you, in the shattered glow Every fragment of me still holds what I can't let go Ricochets of your heart beat through my chest But I'm just pretend, I'm just a ghost at best The horizon fades, but it won't take your name It's etched in my soul, in a looped refrain Even the moon bends under your pull I'm caught in your tide, helpless and full Every memory cuts like glass But I'd break a thousand times if it meant you'd last In the quiet, I still hear your song A melody I've loved all along And it's you, only you, in the shattered glow Every fragment of me still holds what I can't let go Ricochets of your heart beat through my chest But I'm just pretend, I'm just a ghost at best If I could rewrite the stars, erase the scars Would you still see me, would you still be ours? Or am I chasing a dream that we've left behind A fragment of love lost in the sands of time? And it's you, only you, in the shattered glow Every piece of my soul screams for what I'll never know Ricochets of your heart fade into the night But I'll keep chasing, your golden hour light
