This Ember Songtext
von Maridia

A first breath inhaled
Followed by curious eyes open wide
Pupils dilated under artificial lights
I barely had time to meet your gaze
Our sighs of relief were cruelly
Cut short by cries of
Anguish and pain
And in the turmoil she got pulled away
As you and me were left behind
With barely a light

This scene is suspended in time
You serenely asleep while my world spiraled ever
Downwards


I Lost count of how many nights
I′ve kept returning to that haunted room
My disassociation became fulfilled
As minutes bled into hours
Into an eternal horror of what might've
I pray that you will never learn

Just how dark those December nights were
Within walls so austere and cold
Cursing my own vanity, over and over again
For choosing to put you on this wretched earth

Time offered clarity
Opened wounds slowly sealed with milk and honey
And seeing you bask in the warmth of the world
As you grow
For now
I′ll just dream of being enough
For now
I will be enough
