When wings (E552)

I gave you all I carried, every breath that I could give, painted skies where your name was the reason I could live. Built a castle out of dreams on a fragile, silent prayer, but the wind erased my future before morning filled the air. I held on so tightly that I lost the name I knew, became a frozen shadow, losing warmth because of you. Thought that we were fire, but the flame was only mine, I ran into the darkness while you walked another line. Three long years disappeared like rain on concrete stone, my heart kept beating wildly to a rhythm all alone. Now I know that love can never grow from force or fear, it blooms where two can choose to stay, and both can truly hear. I chased a distant star that vanished before dawn, held onto a dream whose direction had been gone. Built bridges made of hope across the doubt and sand, then watched them slowly crumble from my open hands. Now I wear my scars like medals on my skin, they remind me how I rose when the world was closing in. I leave the old shadows where they always belonged, no one takes the light away from someone who grew strong. Love should give me wings, not chains around my soul, lift me when I’m falling, make the broken pieces whole. Not be tears that turn to oceans every night, but the calm after the storm, when fear releases light. So I walk with my head high, nothing holds me down, every step reminds me of the strength that I have found. Three years became a journey where I finally found myself, no one else can rule the fire burning deep within my chest. No more war, no more fight, I let life arrive in its own time and light. When love is real, it feels as gentle as the breeze, and I’ll meet it strong and free, with an open heart at peace.
