I'm standing in the corner of a room without a view

Watching every golden ray just dancing over you

You’re the fire in the distance, I’m the frost upon the pane

Knowing if I touch the light I’ll only feel the pain

I reached out with my spirit but my fingers hit the glass

Watching every second of our history just pass

You were always moving forward, I was anchored to the floor

Begging for a little heat then begging for some more

And I will never hold the light, I’ll never shine within

I’m just the shadow of the man that I have always been

I gave you every piece of me until the well ran dry

Now I’m just a hollow shell beneath a heavy sky

Yeah, I’m numb with the grief and I’m burning with the rage

Just another tragic line upon a broken page

Every time I poured it out you let it hit the ground

I was screaming for your mercy but you never made a sound

I gave you love in cycles like the turning of the tide

But every wave that hit the shore just left me dead inside

Now the garden that we planted is a field of jagged ice

I paid for every moment with a devastating price

My blood is running colder with the passing of the years

I’ve got nothing left to give you but these frozen, salty tears

And I will never hold the light, I’ll never shine within

I’m just the shadow of the man that I have always been

I gave you every piece of me until the well ran dry

Now I’m just a hollow shell beneath a heavy sky

Yeah, I’m numb with the grief and I’m burning with the rage

Just another tragic line upon a broken page

Heartache is a rhythm that is beating in my chest

A heavy kind of darkness that will never let me rest

I’m looking from the outside and the window’s turning black

Knowing all the love I gave is never coming back

Never coming back, no

And I will never hold the light, I’ll never shine within

I’m just the shadow of the man that I have always been

I gave you every piece of me until the well ran dry

Now I’m just a hollow shell beneath a heavy sky

Yeah, I’m numb with the grief and I’m burning with the rage

Just another tragic line upon a broken page

Looking at the light

It was never mine to hold

Now the world is getting cold

Just so cold

So cold

Well was it worth it to let things stale and create yet again more confusion and unknowns?

I'm standing in the corner of a room without a view

Watching every golden ray just dancing over you

You’re the fire in the distance, I’m the frost upon the pane

Knowing if I touch the light I’ll only feel the pain

I reached out with my spirit but my fingers hit the glass

Watching every second of our history just pass

You were always moving forward, I was anchored to the floor

Begging for a little heat then begging for some more

And I will never hold the light, I’ll never shine within

I’m just the shadow of the man that I have always been

I gave you every piece of me until the well ran dry

Now I’m just a hollow shell beneath a heavy sky

Yeah, I’m numb with the grief and I’m burning with the rage

Just another tragic line upon a broken page

Every time I poured it out you let it hit the ground

I was screaming for your mercy but you never made a sound

I gave you love in cycles like the turning of the tide

But every wave that hit the shore just left me dead inside

Just another tragic line upon a broken page

Looking at the light

It was never mine to hold

Now the world is getting cold

Just so cold

So cold

I'm staring at the screen again tonight

The cursor blinks a rhythm in the light

I type the words and then I hit erase

Afraid to see the truth upon your face

I wonder if you're sleeping or awake

While I am counting every breath I take

I want to reach across this cold divide

And show you all the things I hold inside

But silence is a wall I cannot climb

A frozen moment captured out of time

I miss you more than words could ever say

The shadow of your ghost won't fade away

I never lost the love we used to know

And I will never find the strength to let it go

Till Valhalla and beyond I'm by your side

With a burning heart that's got nowhere to hide

I will always be yours through the fire and the rain

I will always love you through the joy and the pain

I keep our memories like a sacred vow

I wish that I could tell you clearly now

That distance hasn't changed a single thing

I'm still the song that only you can sing

You're the anchor in the middle of my storm

The only fire that can keep me warm

But I'm terrified you won't feel the same

That you've forgotten how to speak my name

So I keep these letters locked within my chest

While my heavy heart can never find its rest

I miss you more than words could ever say

The shadow of your ghost won't fade away

I never lost the love we used to know

And I will never find the strength to let it go

Till Valhalla and beyond I'm by your side

With a burning heart that's got nowhere to hide

I will always be yours through the fire and the rain

I will always love you through the joy and the pain

It’s a lonesome road I’m walking on my own

Waiting for a signal from a heart of stone

But even if you never call me back

I’ll be the light that follows in your track

My loyalty is etched in ancient bone

Until the stars fall from their golden throne

I miss you more than words could ever say

The shadow of your ghost won't fade away

I never lost the love we used to know

And I will never find the strength to let it go

Till Valhalla and beyond I'm by your side

With a burning heart that's got nowhere to hide

I will always be yours through the fire and the rain

I will always love you through the joy and the pain

I'm staring at the screen again tonight

The cursor blinks a rhythm in the light

[Verse 1]

You notice every little flaw

The tired days you try to hide

But I see how you give your all

With that brave heart open wide

[Pre-Chorus]

You measure yourself by what went wrong

By every place you think you fell

But I have known you all along

And I know you better than you know yourself

[Chorus]

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than the doubts you carry quietly

Every small kindness, every scar you keep

Makes you the person I am proud to see

And if you forget what your heart can be

I'll remind you, again and again

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than a moment, more than an end

[Verse 2]

I remember the kitchen light

And the note you left beside the door

You were running late, still stopped to write

Three simple words that meant much more

[Pre-Chorus]

You call it ordinary, nothing new

But I collect those days like gold

The way you make a room feel safe

The way your hand still finds my own

[Chorus]

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than the doubts you carry quietly

Every small kindness, every scar you keep

Makes you the person I am proud to see

And if you forget what your heart can be

I'll remind you, again and again

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than a moment, more than an end

[Bridge]

So when the morning asks too much

And you can barely trust your name

Come rest your head against my shoulder

You don't have to earn your place

[Final Chorus]

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than the years could ever make you see

Every soft promise, every step you take

Is a part of the life I would choose again

And if you forget what your heart can be

I'll be right here, steady and true

You'll always be more than you know to me

And I will always know the best in you

[Outro]

More than you know

More than you know to me

[Verse 1]

You notice every little flaw

The tired days you try to hide

But I see how you give your all

With that brave heart open wide

[Pre-Chorus]

You measure yourself by what went wrong

By every place you think you fell

But I have known you all along

And I know you better than you know yourself

[Chorus]

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than the doubts you carry quietly

Every small kindness, every scar you keep

Makes you the person I am proud to see

And if you forget what your heart can be

I'll remind you, again and again

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than a moment, more than an end

[Verse 2]

I remember the kitchen light

And the note you left beside the door

You were running late, still stopped to write

Three simple words that meant much more

[Pre-Chorus]

You call it ordinary, nothing new

But I collect those days like gold

The way you make a room feel safe

The way your hand still finds my own

[Chorus]

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than the doubts you carry quietly

Every small kindness, every scar you keep

Makes you the person I am proud to see

And if you forget what your heart can be

I'll remind you, again and again

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than a moment, more than an end

[Bridge]

So when the morning asks too much

And you can barely trust your name

Come rest your head against my shoulder

You don't have to earn your place

[Final Chorus]

You'll always be more than you know to me

More than the years could ever make you see

Every soft promise, every step you take

Is a part of the life I would choose again

And if you forget what your heart can be

I'll be right here, steady and true

You'll always be more than you know to me

And I will always know the best in you

[Outro]

More than you know

More than you know to me

Since opening communication between us again, you alone are responsible for helping me find my voice through music and poetry again. I haven't been able to write anything since you. I just want you to know and believe all these I write are about you and the love I have is only and always will be yours. Never to lose, never to break. Maybe one day if you see them on here you'll let yourself be known to me here and tell me what you think and feel again. Never to be afraid and I know I'm responsible for putting some of that fear you try to hide and I'm so sorry. If ever given the chance ever again I will spend the rest of my life erasing and proving that I never meant to hurt you. I love you.

I have to live the rest of my life with all the triggers and reactions I suffered at the hands of someone I thought I was suppose to be able to trust because of my childhood and the trauma and abuse I suffered I will never be normal and the people who make excuses and protect people like this are obviously pretending to not see what it did to me. But I may have this happen to me,but It's that abusive and narcissist BS that I've turned into strength and determination to break away from that circle. I will not be quiet anymore and I refuse to let it control my life or who I trust with myself or my family and friends. I'm happy with myself and the ones( you know who you are) I let into my circle.

If anyone understands how this affects you in life and love please don't let it stop you from accomplishing what you want to succeed in. Don't let the past control or define what or who you want to be.

You met me in the quiet between the trains

Where the city lights were breaking through the rain

I had a smile built from borrowed grace

You saw the cracks I kept behind my face

You spoke like morning through a midnight door

Like you’d been here in my life before

I wanted you, but I kept my hands

Wrapped tight around the ruins of old plans

You move like truth, I flinch like pain

You say my name and I almost stay

We’re two stars burning on a crooked line

Pulling close, but never in time

You know what love should be, you never look away

I’m still haunted by the price I paid

If I reach for you, will I fall again?

If you hold my heart, can it learn to mend?

We were meant to be, but fear has a louder voice

And I keep breaking at the edge of choice

You don’t ask me to be anyone else

You light up the room like you trust yourself

I admire the way you stand so still

Like love is a promise, not a thrill

But every soft touch drags up the past

Old words, old wounds, and the shadows they cast

I hear my old heartbreak calling my name

And I let it turn my courage into blame

You move like truth, I flinch like pain

You say my name and I almost stay

We’re two stars burning on a crooked line

Pulling close, but never in time

You know what love should be, you never look away

I’m still haunted by the price I paid

If I reach for you, will I fall again?

If you hold my heart, can it learn to mend?

We were meant to be, but fear has a louder voice

And I keep breaking at the edge of choice

If I let you in, would the world come down?

Or would your arms be the safest ground?

You’ve got the kind of hope I forgot to keep

I’ve got a wounded heart that’s learning to speak

Say you’ll wait while I climb through the dark

Say you’ll meet me where I lost my spark

We’re two stars burning on a crooked line

Still reaching out across the sky

You know what love should be, you never look away

I’m still learning how to stay

If I reach for you, I won’t fall alone

If you hold my heart, maybe it’ll come home

We were meant to be, and maybe that’s enough

To let fear kneel down to love

Wish I could send this to him, but I don't think he'll feel the same way about it as I do. I miss him and I wish I could tell him that I've never lost that love with him nor will I ever. I will forever be his til Valhalla and beyond.

The kitchen clock keeps talking in the quiet

Your coffee cup still sits beside my sink

I trace the map lines on the fridge at midnight

And count the miles in every missing blink

Your jacket on the chair still holds your laughter

A little ghost of cedar, smoke, and rain

I hear your voice in every passing truck light

Then the room goes still and starts again

Miles between us, but love don’t lose its way

I hold you in the dark until the break of day

Every road we’ve waited on is leading us home

No matter how the hard wind blows, we’re never alone

I’ll be right here when the long night fades

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

One day soon, you’ll be back here next to me

I’ve been learning how to live with empty evenings

How to smile when your name lights up my phone

We talk in little pieces, small and steady

Like seeds we plant to keep the promise growing strong

You say the moon looks different where you’re staying

I say the stars still hang the same as before

And every “soon” you whisper through the distance

Feels like a hand on my shoulder, asking for more

Miles between us, but love don’t lose its way

I hold you in the dark until the break of day

Every road we’ve waited on is leading us home

No matter how the hard wind blows, we’re never alone

I’ll be right here when the long night fades

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

One day soon, you’ll be back here next to me

When the tires finally hum up our driveway

And your arms fold all my aching into dust

There’ll be tears, there’ll be shaking, there’ll be laughter

And the whole wide world will finally fit between us

Miles between us, but love don’t lose its way

I hold you in the dark until the break of day

Every road we’ve waited on is leading us home

No matter how the hard wind blows, we’re never alone

I’ll be right here when the long night fades

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

The kitchen clock keeps talking in the quiet

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

One day soon, you’ll be back here next to me

I met you when I was seventeen

Two young hearts with a reckless dream

We dated under the summer stars

Then wore forever in matching scars

I gave you hope, I gave you time

Put my trembling trust in your hand and mine

And every road I dared to roam

Still led me back to you, back home

You have all of me still

You always did, you always will

Through every tear and every hill

My heart says yes, my soul stands still

I wanted dreams, a shared tomorrow

A love that held through joy and sorrow

If I could, I'd mend the pain

And choose you all over again

There were nights we let the silence grow

Words like stones we couldn’t throw

But even hurt can’t bury truth

I kept your name inside my youth

I wanted rings, a house, a life

A Sunday calm, a hand, a wife

Contentment in the quiet glow

Of growing old and moving slow

You have all of me still

You always did, you always will

Through every tear and every hill

My heart says yes, my soul stands still

I wanted dreams, a shared tomorrow

A love that held through joy and sorrow

If I could, I'd mend the pain

And choose you all over again

So if the distance tests our light

I’ll keep the flame alive at night

My trust is yours until my last breath

Beyond the clock, beyond death

What we were and what we are

Still burns like a steady star

You have all of me still

You always did, you always will

Through every tear and every hill

My heart says yes, my soul stands still

I wanted dreams, a shared tomorrow

A love that held through joy and sorrow

If I could, I'd mend the pain

And choose you all over again
