Prompt / Lyrics
Some loves burn like comets brilliant, brief, gone Some loves are stars, still traveling long after they’ve changed Ours was the second kind This is everything I never said right I was just a kid on a middle school bus She turned around, my soul said “shush” Not just a girl, a home, I knew it in my blood 15 years of friendship built a cathedral out of trust Then I knelt before her with a zip tie on my hand Chicken truck crashed ahead, chaos feathers, faded plan Blood and ritual, rooster wed to Scorpio queen The universe was laughing like it set the whole scene I built a fortress from the promises I made when I was young From the vows I spoke in work vans, from the songs we never sung Every time she wandered, I reinforced the stone Every time she came back empty, I made sure she’d have a home I held a place for years While she explored her fears And I forgave her every time Added bricks instead of tears I found heaven in a person, not a place God himself was witness to the grace Love ain’t control, it’s letting go It’s forgiving souls when they don’t know Door stays open, not a wall Cause a love like mine don’t know how to fall Let me tell you how her absence almost took my soul When nobody sees your breaking, you cling to what you know I watched her choosing distance over standing in the storm I watched our bed turn battlefield, then quiet, then just warm I memorized her footsteps in the hallway late at night I learned the shape of every silence when we didn’t fight I kept on playing guardian while she kept changing roles I kept on tending sacred ground while she redrew our goals 15 years, she was my best friend, middle school to lullabies When the demons came for her, I stood my ground and never left her side When the world had turned against her, I was anchor in the sand Fighting family, fighting rumors, holding her with both my hands So when the shadows came for me, I thought she’d understand Thought she’d see the boy she met back then, not just a broken man One moment, one confession, one fracture in my voice And suddenly the life we built turned into just a choice One story, one fear, one truth that made her choke After years of my forgiveness, I was sentenced by the smoke Her dozen wanderings, my one was too much The angel pulled her halo back from my unsteady touch I found heaven in a person, not a place God himself was witness to the grace Love ain’t control, it’s letting go It’s forgiving souls when they don’t know Door stays open, not a wall Cause a love like mine don’t know how to fall But hear me This ain’t me saying you were heartless This is me admitting I was blind To think that love alone could hold you when your past rewrote your mind Your framework said love equals effort, hurt means war If he ever breaks the story once, he’s not the man you knew before You spent so long trying to save us both You forgot I was the kid on that bus, making universe-oaths I found heaven in a person, not a place God himself was witness to the grace
