Ashes in the Snow

---

You stood where the sky touched stone

Eyes turned where the river roamed

A storm in silk, a wound in flame

Yet never once did you speak your name

You walked like winter in a war

Silent steps I waited for

With every breath I never showed

I buried love beneath the snow

---

I was the bloom you never held

You were the fire I couldn’t quell

Between the sword and aching sky

We lived, we broke, we passed on by

---

Ashes in the snow, that’s where I remain

Calling out to you through smoke and rain

Your shadow drifts where the cold wind sings

But I still wear your memory like a ring

Ashes in the snow, never touched the flame

But I still whisper your untold name

If this is all the fate allows—

Then let me burn, but not bow down

---

You spoke with silence wrapped in steel

Each scar a secret you concealed

I was the breath behind your blade

The peace you feared, the vow you made

They carved your name in war and stone

But I remember you alone

A hand that trembled once in mine

Before it turned to strike the sky

---

No lullaby for men like you

No mercy song for what we knew

But I will hum it just the same

A quiet girl who loved your name

---

Ashes in the snow, that’s where I remain

Calling out to you through smoke and rain

Your shadow drifts where the cold wind sings

But I still wear your memory like a ring

Ashes in the snow, never touched the flame

But I still whisper your untold name

Even if you never turned your head—

You were the living, I the dead

---

Would you have stayed... if I had asked?...

---

Ashes in the snow, I am still the same

The girl who waited through war and shame

I’ll never be the sword you held

But I was every tear you never fell

Ashes in the snow—let the seasons turn

But even ghosts have hearts that burn

If I must vanish, let it be so—

But I will love you… in the snow
