The Art of Bruises

It feels like just yesterday the sun was near,
Summer raced past, bright and clear.
Golden days with laughter, the world alive,
Now the cold wind cuts and I barely survive.

I wasn’t ready for the season’s fall,
This northern silence, it drowns me all.

When I close my eyes, I see you there,
Crystal seas and sunlight in your hair.
But I’m trapped in shadows, frozen through,
Dreaming of a life meant for me and you.
Don’t let the fire fade, don’t let it die,
I’m terrified love will pass us by.

I remember spring when the birds all sang,
Sweet blue skies, how the daylight rang.
Now all I hear is the ruthless wind,
It chills my bones, it breaks me within.

Your pictures show me another place,
Like a movie scene, full of grace.

When I close my eyes, I see you there,
Crystal seas and sunlight in your hair.
But I’m trapped in shadows, frozen through,
Dreaming of a life meant for me and you.
Don’t let the fire fade, don’t let it die,
I’m terrified love will pass us by.

I’ve never belonged in this northern land,
Snow and silence, I can’t withstand.
I’m tired, I’m broken, I’m losing ground,
But in your warmth my soul is found.

When I close my eyes, I see you there,
Crystal seas and sunlight in your hair.
If we could escape, if we could be free,
Life as it’s meant, just you and me.
Don’t let the fire fade, don’t let it die,
I’m terrified love will pass us by.

So promise me, even through the pain,
You won’t forget me, you’ll call my name.
