Forget who hurt you yesterday,
but don't forget those who love you every day.
Forget the past that makes you cry,
and focus on the present that makes you smile.
Forget the pain, but never the lessons you gain.
You found me where the silence breaks,
between the promise and the ache.
I swore I'd never fall again,
but here I am,
beneath your skin.
Your voice was calm, your hands were fire,
pulling me through the burning wire.
And though I knew it couldn't last,
I still let go.
I held too fast.
Every
wound you kissed felt clean,
like something holy,
something mean.
This sweet surrender,
where I lose and remember,
you pull me under, so divine.
A sin dressed up as something kind.
This sweet surrender,
the pain I'd still defend.
You break me just to mend,
and I'd do it all again.
You said love's a fleeting flame,
but I still whisper your name.
You left your fingerprints on me,
where faith and fear both used to be.
The
line between us disappears,
a blur of hope and hidden tears.
If I'm your ruin, you're my prayer.
We're both lost and unaware.
I taste the truth between your lies,
a quiet death I can't despise.
This sweet surrender, where I lose and remember,
you pull me under, soft and cruel.
I drown and
call it beautiful.
This sweet surrender,
where ending meets the start.
You haunt my trembling
heart like a ghost I can't debunk.
Let the storm begin.
I'll meet it where we send every fall,
every flame.
Still burns your name.
I'm still there, the ache I still defend.
I give, I break, I bend.
And call it love again, this sweet surrender,
the poison I prefer.
If this is how it ends,
then let it end with her.
