Ashes Don't Bleed

Hollow Token

I remember the echo of your voice
Living in the corners of my mind
Every promise carved in glass
Every memory left behind

You were the calm inside my storm
The silence between my screams
But love can turn to empty rooms
And dreams can fracture dreams

I held your shadow in my hands
Like it was made of gold
But warmth can die without a sound
And hearts can turn to cold

I watched you fade into the dark
While I begged the night to stay
But broken prayers don't change the end
They only learn to fade away

Now I'm breathing without you
And the scars don't burn the same
I walked through every fire
And I walked out of the flame

You left me in the silence
Where my soul learned how to heal
Ashes don't bleed forever
And pain forgets to feel

Your name was written in my veins
Like a song I couldn't stop
But time dissolves the deepest ink
And love can finally drop

I traced your ghost across my chest
Like it would bring you back
But shadows lose their power
When the light begins to crack

I stopped searching in the ruins
For a heart that disappeared
Sometimes letting go of love
Is the bravest kind of fear

Now I'm breathing without you
And the scars don't burn the same
I walked through every fire
And I walked out of the flame

You left me in the silence
Where my soul learned how to heal
Ashes don't bleed forever
And pain forgets to feel

I thought losing you would end me
I thought darkness was my fate
But the void you left inside me
Became the place I recreate

I built a heart from broken pieces
I learned to stand alone
You were never my salvation
Just a chapter I outgrew

Now I'm breathing without you
And my lungs are filled with light
I survived the falling embers
I survived the endless night

You left me in the silence
But the silence set me free
Ashes don't bleed forever
Now the fire lives in me

I don't hate the ghost you became
I don't mourn the love we knew
Some endings are awakenings
Some goodbyes rebuild you
