Ashes in Bloom

Meireles Botelho

I lit the sky with broken hymns
Your name still burns on hollow winds
The silence crawls through every night
Like a ghost that feeds on fading light

I drank the dusk from empty eyes
Each breath a curse I can't disguise

Ashes in bloom, where your heart used to lie
Love turns to ruin under this pale sky
I held your echo till it tore me apart
You left your winter inside my heart

A mirror cracked by whispered sins
Blood runs cold where you've been
The dusk repeats what dawn forgets
A dance of shadows and regrets

I count the stars you never see
Your absence sings in minor key

Ashes in bloom, where your heart used to lie
Love turns to ruin under this pale sky
I held your echo till it tore me apart
You left your winter inside my heart

No love remain
Only rain
Washing the traces I can't explain

Ashes in bloom, where we used to exist
Hope turns to smoke in a lover's last kiss
I kissed the silence, I kissed your name
And found myself alone again
