Echoes rise from the hollow stone,
chanting
where shadows kneel in silence.
The ruins breathe with ancient promises,
and every wall remembers
a love bound beyond flesh,
a flame that burns without mercy,
a vow etched in blood and ash.
Two souls torn, yet never apart
A sacred wound that will not close
Devotion beyond decay.
We walk as pilgrims in the dark,
carrying a love that cannot perish.
And, in the echoes of eternity, the vow endures.

We walk on the ruins of yesterday,
beneath cathedrals shattered by silence.
Ghosts bleed from the broken glasses,
their faces carved in crimson rain.
Shadows kneel like fallen saints,
clutching the dust of forgotten vows.
The angels are hollow statues,
their marble wings cracked and stained.
The never forgotten love burns
like a candle drowning in its own wax.
It drips through the corridors of night,
leaving scars on the stones we tread
and the silence roars where pain screams
We walk with ghosts
through ruins veiled in funeral smoke.
And in the heart of this endless dark,
even hope is a wound that falls apart
and comfort is not
not even in the midst of the lost and found.
Nothing seems enough
I dream about you, but I aching for more
and the demon inside is reading the epitaph
to be carved on my tombstone as a mantra.
I keep stumbling on the same patterns
struggling with my ghosts
getting lost all over again
in a heart shaped labyrinth.
Nostalgic, or maybe because the moon was full
I tasted the winter and it followed me at home
and now I walk on thin ice
knowing not
when it will crack under me
nor who will grab me when I'm falling
now that I have let you go.
