Were you not the one who swore to stay,
To guard my soul and keep pain at bay?
Were you not the one who held my hand, Promising forever in shifting sands?

What changed in you, where did you go?
Why did your warmth turn so cold, so slow? Was it my love, or your restless heart,
That tore us, piece by piece, apart?

Do you see the scars you left behind?
Do you hear the echoes in my mind?
When you turn back, seeking what was,
Do you question the wreckage of your cause?

Why return now, with guilt in your eyes,
What fuels this longing, these broken ties?
Is it regret, or selfish need,
That makes you beg while I still bleed?

Do you believe that time will heal,
That shattered trust can again feel real?
Or is this just another game you play,
A fleeting moment before you stray?

Tell me now, and tell me true,
What is it you seek from the ashes of you?
For I've risen higher than your pain,
Do you think I'll let you hurt me again?
