3d
You gave me love—
and then the pain.
And I?

I welcomed it,
again and again!

You burned me,
In your empty space,
And I?

I was consumed—
gone without a trace!

You wished to,
drench me in silent tears,
And look—
I'm still soaked
In the ache of those years!

You silenced my heart
That beat in your name—
But even in stillness,
I feel you the same.

See, what you gave me—
I still carry with grace.
Even stripped of all,
I find peace in that place...

For once in my life,
Even if for a while—
You were mine,
And that thought makes me smile!
