Fallen

We met through shattered screens and silent nights
Both broken souls, afraid of lights
She said: Your pain looks just like mine
And for a while, the dark felt kind

We talked in whispers, shared our scars
Dreamed of healing from afar
She said: Don't let go, just hold on tight
I'll be your strength when you can't fight

She promised I'd never fall
She swore she'd catch it all
Told me I'd never cry alone
That I'd always have a home

But promises fade like breath in the cold
And love can slip when hands don't hold
I was holding on, she let it go
And now I'm falling slow

I gave her care, I gave my heart
She kissed my fears and played the part
But days grew thin, her words grew few
And in the end, she vanished too

My body weak, but soul still burned
Waiting for the love she'd once returned
She said: You'll never be alone in this
Then left me drowning in the abyss

She promised I'd never fall
She swore she'd catch it all
Told me I'd never cry alone
That I'd always have a home

But promises fade like breath in the cold
And love can slip when hands don't hold
I was holding on, she let it go
And now I'm falling slow

Elizabeth, can you hear me now?
I kept your words like sacred vows
But the silence grew, and pain stood tall
You said you'd catch me
But I had to fall

She promised I'd never fall
She swore she'd catch it all
But I fell into the night
And she never saw the light

Now I'm gone, but I still recall
The way she swore I'd never fall
