We don’t reach, we don’t collide No sparks left to light the night Your hand rests calm against my skin No fire where there once was wind No rush of blood, no need to name Just heat that doesn’t need a flame Heart without flame Still the same Heart without flame, softly warm Like after something once was storm No desire pulling me close Just comfort I don’t choose or lose You don’t thrill me, don’t inspire But you linger like old fire Heart without flame, steady, true I don’t know what to do with you We talk slow, we breathe in sync Say nothing heavy, nothing deep No danger here, no need to flee Just space where love used to be I feel safe, and that’s the part That scares the most inside my heart Heart without flame Quiet remains Heart without flame, I stay still Not because I want, but will There’s no ache, no burning need Just warmth that doesn’t set me free If passion’s gone, what’s left to save When all I feel is what remains Heart without flame, calm and tame Like love that forgot its name I remember how it felt When one look made the world melt Now your touch is just a sign That time has passed, not crossed a line Not empty, no, but undefined Like heat without a source to find Heart without flame Holding shape Heart without flame, not in pain Just a quiet sense of vain I don’t long, I don’t regret I just don’t feel finished yet If this is all that love can be Then why does it feel half of me Heart without flame, soft refrain Of something I can’t regain Maybe warmth is what survives When fire leaves our former lives Not meant to last, not meant to grow Just proof we loved a while ago I won’t chase the fire again But I won’t lie about the end Heart without flame Let it fade Heart without flame, I release Not with anger, not with peace Just acceptance, calm and slow Of what love chose to let go You don’t burn me, don’t excite But you glow in softer light Heart without flame, I remain Warm… and alone again
