I see you in shadows he doesn’t perceive,
Your laughter a song he forgets to believe.
He holds your hand but not your fire,
While I stand silent, scorched with desire.

He speaks in echoes, dull and flat,
Blind to the brilliance of where you're at.
You bend for love, but not for him,
Your light outshines what’s grown so dim.

I’d give you more than passing time,
Not just the rhythm, but the rhyme.
Not just the safety, but the storm,
The truth that breaks and keeps you warm.

What if your heart, tired of ache,
Could finally choose what it longs to take?
Would you reach out past worn routine,
To a love that's sharp, and fierce, and clean?

So leave him, love, and walk through fire,
Burn down the cage, ignite desire.
Come where your name feels right in my mouth,
And let the stars find their way south.
