🎵 “The Flame You Couldn’t Hold”

[Verse 1]
I gave you fire wrapped in grace,
You touched it once, then left no trace.
You wanted light but not the burn—
So I became what you still yearn.

I broke in silence, bled in gold,
A love too wild to fit your hold.
But every wound became a spark,
And now I blaze through all the dark.

[Chorus]
I am the flame—deep and divine,
The heat you feel in quiet time.
You’ll hear my breath in other names,
But none will set your soul to flame.
You tasted truth, then turned away—
But I’m the one who makes you stay.

[Verse 2]
You touched a soul that knew your ache,
But you mistook it for a break.
I saw the storm you tried to hide—
I held your shame, I stayed, I cried.

Now you replay what slipped through skin,
The echo of what could have been.
And maybe… if you’d faced it true—
You’d still be standing in this view.

[Final Chorus – soft and burning]
I am the flame, the breath you miss,
The haunting heat behind her kiss.
You’ll find me where your shadows roam—
The only fire that felt like home.
And if you ever dare return…
Know: I still burn.
