The glow of love

​(Verse 1 - The Glow of Love)
(Tempo: Slow, gentle piano and acoustic guitar)
In a world of gray, you were the spectrum's hue,
Every color brilliant, every dream felt new.
We built a fortress on a promise whispered low,
A love that felt like summer, where no shadow dared to grow.
I saw my future in the mirror of your eyes,
Believing in forever beneath those endless skies.
Oh, we were a symphony, a perfect, soaring sound,
The greatest treasure that my soul had ever found.
​(Chorus - The Inevitable Fall)
(Tempo: Slightly picking up, subtle drums enter, melody becomes more melancholic)
But the tide turns fast, and the foundations crack,
The sweet, soft music faded to a desperate lack.
When the words were spoken, they were silent, sharp, and cold,
A story left unfinished, a chapter left untold.
Now the ashes settle where the flame once burned so bright,
Just a hollow echo ringing in the endless night.
My phoenix heart lay broken, shattered on the floor,
Wondering if I could ever want to love once more.
​(Verse 2 - The Long Road of Grief)
(Tempo: Slow, stripped-back to piano and vocals, a moment of deep vulnerability)
I walked the lonely valleys, where the rain refused to cease,
Chasing after fragments of a stolen, promised peace.
Every quiet morning was a battlefield of pain,
Trying to wash the memory out, but washing it in vain.
I tried to build up walls, brick by solitary brick,
Telling myself that healing would be fast and it would stick.
But you can't rush the sunrise, you can't skip the darkest hour,
I had to face the ruins, and find my hidden power.
​(Bridge - The Turning Point & Self-Discovery)
(Tempo: Gradually accelerating, bass line becomes stronger, building tension)
Then a whisper in the darkness, a gentle, steady chime,
Said the love you lost was not the end, it was just the cost of time.
The strength you searched for outward, it was living deep inside,
You don't need a single other soul to hold you as your guide.
The breaking wasn't failure, it was merely the design,
To shed the fragile skin, and finally know what is truly mine.
I will not be defined by the scars that you can see,
The true redemption is the power I found in me.
