The Remains

I held your name like fragile glass In every quiet afterglow Now every shadow that you cast Is all that I still seem to know I walk through rooms you used to fill With echoes I can't lay to rest And though the world has gone still Your absence pounds inside my chest These are the remains of us The ashes, the ache, the dust What was once a burning light Now only haunts me through the night But if love leaves anything behind Let it be the way you changed my life The remains of us, I keep Like a wound that never lets me sleep
