๐ŸŽถ Verse 1
A gentle, loving smile I see
A tall man standing next to me
You softly wrapped my beating heart
Whispered I was brave and smart
You left the sadness in the past
But the silence always seemed to last


---

๐ŸŽถ Verse 2
Five years of asking why
Now I seeโ€”you never said goodbye
Pictures of you make me weep
Still you're the calm I try to keep
You told me once, you had the best
When your wild heart laid down to rest


---

๐ŸŽถ Chorus
Forget the years I walked alone
The fear, the cold, the empty home
Only kindness, only grace
Can hold your memory in place
You were my sweet and gentle light
That flickered once, then left the night


---

๐ŸŽถ Verse 3
I felt so safe when I was small
You caught me every time I'd fall
I'll always thank the stars above
For teaching me what it meant to love
But love like yours, a fleeting thread
That spun a webโ€ฆ then left me bled


---

๐ŸŽถ Bridge (spoken/sung with ambient echo)
You let me in, then turned away
Half of me safe... the rest your prey
No warning sign, no final word
Just vanished wings, like ghost unheard
No help would come, no hand to hold
You flew awayโ€ฆ your silence cold


---

๐ŸŽถ Final Chorus
Forget the years I wandered blind
Still searching for your heart in mine
Only warmth, only the start
Will ever hold your missing part
Sleep now, my friend, though skies are greyโ€”
You left, but I remainโ€ฆ
Akaken me.
โ€”โ€œAkaken Meโ€โ€”has a deeply personal, emotionally raw tone. It begins with tenderness and warmth, then slowly reveals betrayal, abandonment, and unresolved grief. There's beauty in the gentleness of memory, but also a haunting sharpness in how that love became a trap.
