The Light I Never Saw

I walked through ash a ghost in flame

No name to curse no one to blame

A thousand scars beneath my skin

But you were warmth I kept within

Your voice - a thread I didn't see

But now it pulls the heart from me

I ran from light I chose the fall

Never knew you'd break my wall

And still you stayed

When all I gave was pain and shade

You saw through rage

Through all the war I never waged

You touched the part I tried to hide

The silent scream I kept inside

You held me close and didn't speak

And I was whole though I felt weak

Now I bleed from where I healed

A wound I swore would stay concealed

You found me buried out of breath

A soul too numb to welcome death

You called my name - I turned away

Too afraid that you might stay

But every silence that we shared

Was louder than the life I dared

And now I see through all the lies

It was you who kept me alive

And still you stayed

When all I gave was pain and shade

You saw through rage

Through all the war I never waged

You touched the part I tried to hide

The silent scream I kept inside

You held me close and didn't speak

And I was whole though I felt weak

Now I bleed from where I healed

A wound I swore would stay concealed

So let me fall if you're the ground

The only peace I've ever found

And if I break then break me slow

You're the truth I feared to know

I lived in dark I couldn't see

But love kept whispering through me

No more ghosts no need to hide

You are the flame that stayed inside

So if I burn then let it be

Cause love was always haunting me
