Where Shadows Breathe

The cold still lingers on my skin
A memory soaked in what has been
Your eyes were storms I couldn't flee
Now every breath I feels less like me

You spoke in silence, cruel and kind
A love that scars and leaves me blind

Where shadows breathe, I call your name
In every echo laced with shame
You were the poison in my wine
The sweetest ache I made mine

I watched you fade like dying flame
Yet every night I curse your name
The scent of you still stains the air
A wound that blooms in my despair

You broke me slow, with soft control
And filled the void inside my soul

Where shadows breathe, I call your name
In every echo laced with shame
You were the poison in my wine
The sweetest ache I made mine

Let the night devour what's left
Of promises of a quiet theft
I'd die to feel your sin again
And live to drown in that pain

Where shadows breathe, I call your name
No stars remain, just ash and flame
You were the poison in my wine
And now you're gone, but still mine
