Loves a Shadow

9/10/2025Aria v1
[Intro] [Verse 1] The clock ticks backward in my mind, Your laughter’s ghost still fills the room. I trace the cracks where we once shined, A photograph of borrowed June. The night we danced in neon rain, Now just a stain I can’t erase— These hollow walls repeat your name, A melody I can’t replace. [Chorus] Oh, love’s a shadow I can’t hold, A fever dream that left me cold. Every note we sang turned blue, Now silence hums the parts I knew. [Verse 2] I wear the ring of yesterday, Its sparkle dulls but weighs the same. Your voice still curls like smoke and clay, A bittersweet, unyielding flame. The roads we paved in golden dusk Are overgrown with thorns and frost— I’m chasing echoes through the dust, But every step reminds me what I lost. [Chorus] Oh, love’s a shadow I can’t hold, A fever dream that left me cold. Every note we sang turned blue, Now silence hums the parts I knew. [Bridge] I light a match to our old vows, Watch the embers scream and bow. The ashes swirl like midnight snow— A requiem for letting go. [Chorus] Oh, love’s a shadow I can’t hold, A fever dream that left me cold. Every note we sang turned blue, Now silence hums the parts I knew. [Outro]
