ashes dont apologise

You lit the match and called it fate,

I watched it burn, stayed still, and waited.

You thought my silence was defeat —

But ghosts don’t bow, they learn to breathe.

I wore your lies like second skin,

Until I learned the fire within.

Now every scar’s a battle cry,

And every tear you caused — dry.

I kept your name in a box of rage,

Buried deep, but I turned the page.

Now I’m the storm you thought you tamed,

Remember, darling — I don’t break, I change.

'Cause ashes don’t apologize,

They rise.

Every wound you gave me’s

Weaponized.

You built your throne on what I lost,

Now I wear that crown of frost.

And every time you say my name,

The smoke remembers who to blame.

You taught me pain, I learned control,

You took the light — I forged it cold.

You wanted mercy? I don’t bleed.

I plant revenge and call it seed.

Now your empire starts to drown,

In the silence I once found.

You’ll see my eyes before you fall,

That’s not forgiveness — that’s the call.

I walked through hell with steady grace,

Came back with flames that wear my face.

So when you see the sky turn black,

It’s not the night — it’s me, come back.

'Cause ashes don’t apologize,

They rise.

Every wound you gave me’s

Weaponized.

You built your throne on what I lost,

Now I wear that crown of frost.

And every time you say my name,

The smoke remembers who to blame.

No mercy left in the wreck I made,

No halo fits a blade.

You taught me endings, I rewrote the start —

Now vengeance beats inside my heart.

Ashes don’t apologize —

They rise.

Every sin you whispered’s

Crystallized.

You can’t kill what you ignite,

You only taught me how to fight.

And every time you curse my name,

The fire answers back — the same.

So go on, light the match again,

I’m not afraid — I’ve been the flame.
