Golden Disaster ||

I still hear your voice in the back of my mind

Like smoke in a room I can’t leave behind

We pull away slow, but your eyes don’t lie

We’re standing in ruins pretending we’re fine

And I know

This was never simple

But your name still lives inside my chest

Like a secret I protect

We keep dancing around the truth

Two hearts with nowhere safe to move

You say distance is the right thing now

But somehow you still feel close somehow

And every time I try to let this go

Something in me runs back home

Maybe we were never meant to stay

But God, we were real anyway

You wear confusion like armor skin

Acting controlled while the chaos slips in

And I learned love doesn’t always choose

The timing we beg it to

Maybe in another life

We don’t hesitate this time

Maybe there’s a world somewhere

Where loving me feels less unfair

We keep holding invisible lines

Loving in the wrong place, wrong time

But if your heart still turns when mine does too

Then maybe this was always true
