Stolen Embers

To the girl who broke my home,

Do you sleep when darkness calls?

Carving joy through walls of sorrow,

Do you hear the echoes fall?

You found light in stolen shadows,

Silver stolen from the moon.

But every thief meets haunted highways,

Midnight whispers hum their tune.

A home that’s built on tears will shatter,

A castle made of cries won’t hold.

Your gold is rust, my fire’s stronger,

Your warmth will turn to icy cold.

Did you dance through broken silence,

Turn the keys that didn’t fit?

But every lock carved out of hurt

Holds secrets you’ll never admit.

Do you feel peace inside your heart,

Or does it flicker like a flame?

The ashes of a stolen hearth

Will spell the thief’s own name.

A home that’s built on tears will shatter,

A castle made of cries won’t hold.

Your gold is rust, my fire’s stronger,

Your warmth will turn to icy cold.

Now the echoes start to crumble,

Footsteps fading down the hall.

All your dreams built on deception—

Tell me, did they stand at all?

Shadows stretch where light once lingered,

Truth is written in the dust.

No love survives on stolen embers,

Only echoes left to rust.

A home that’s built on tears will shatter,

A castle made of cries won’t hold.

Your gold is rust, my fire’s stronger,

Now you're the one left in the cold.
