The Red Mirror - Soft Crown

Описание: I loved you in a pale blue room
Where the light never stayed
I learned your moods like weather
And dressed for every shade

You spoke in almost-promises
I listened like a sin
I never asked you for forever
I let you walk me in

I knew what it would cost me
Still, I paid in grace

I loved you soft, I loved you slow
Like summer dying on the coast
You held my body, not my soul
That part I kept the most
If I cried, it was quiet
If I stayed, it was proud
You broke my heart, not my spirit
I wear a soft crown now

Your hands were always leaving
Even when they held my waist
You tasted like temptation
And cheap wine I couldn’t waste

I laid my sadness on the altar
Painted red and gold
I made a home out of your absence
Like a woman taught to hold

I never begged you to be mine
I just let you lose me

I loved you soft, I loved you slow
Like summer dying on the coast
You held my body, not my soul
That part I kept the most
If I cried, it was quiet
If I stayed, it was proud
You broke my heart, not my spirit
I wear a soft crown now

If you remember me,
Remember me divine—
Hair undone, eyes steady,
Never crossing your line

I was never your mistake
I was never your shame
I was a chapter you couldn’t finish
Because you feared my flame

So go love girls who need you
Who fold when you pull away
I loved you like a woman
Who knew she’d survive the ache
