where the shadows spark

 

---

Tell me, baby, why do you linger here,
Haunting my thoughts, night and day, so clear?
Waking in the silence, in the dead of night,
My eyes bleed, my heart shatters in fright.

I’ve come to terms, I’m a swan without her mate,
A child unwanted, with a soul full of fate.
The moment I saw your eyes, time spun around,
Under the guise of fate, did you hear my sound?

At the Mexican diner, smoke in the air,
Is it too much to say, I miss you there?
If I die tonight, would I regret this truth—
Saying I loved you with all my youth?

Forget the wisdom, the advice, the shame,
I just need to say, I miss you, just the same.
Baby, I don’t care if you ever loved me,
Just tell me, does your heart ache when you think of me?

I’ve never learned, I’ve fallen once more,
When love takes over, I’m left on the floor.
You must be proud, you’ve captured my soul,
Testing my patience, and taking its toll.

All my life, I’ve been torn between doubt,
Every moment, a ghost that I can’t shake out.
I ran like a child the day you walked away,
In the blink of an eye, we couldn’t make it stay.

We were too late, our timing was wrong,
Like I always knew, but stayed far too long.
Why does my heart still break like shattered glass?
Was there truth, or did you just want my body to pass?

When your eyes looked at me, so soft, so kind,
When your voice trembled, "Don’t leave me behind."
Or was it just my soul you sought to take,
And leave me broken for my own mistake?

Now that you’re gone, I still can’t believe,
That we’re not together, I just can’t conceive.
Under the same sky, beneath the same moon,
Let me speak this truth, before I fade too soon.

One last night, I don’t want to escape,
I’ll face it all, no regrets, no tape.
I’ve given my all, my soul, my breath,
Hoping you’re happy, no matter the depth.

Find someone who shines like the morning light,
Not me, I’m the child of the endless night.
I’ll return, as the daughter of the dark,
To rise again, from where the shadows spark.
