Fate of the Fading Star

I heard your voice cut through the noise,
Calling my name in a world without poise.
They say you’re drawn to burning skies —
You strike a spark where the silence lies.

If you had never reached for me,
I'd drift forever in a sleepless sea.
I swore I’d walk my path alone,
Until your light rewrote my own.

All those nights I hid in my shadow,
Watching the world from a quiet window.
Then you arrived like a rising fire,
Lifting me out of the cold and mire —
Saving me from the destiny
Of a fading star.

Across the land, beneath the sky,
I feel your pulse, your steady light.
Wherever you wandered, you're here tonight —
Welcome to the fire that never dies.
The fate
Of a fading star.

A wandering soul of fractured beams,
I lived in echoes of broken dreams.
Love once felt like a winter thorn,
Stealing the glow I was born to adorn.

But when your footsteps found my trail,
They pulled me out from the quiet veil.
Your warmth wrapped near like woven flame,
Calling me back by my forgotten name.

All those nights I hid in my shadow,
Watching the world from a quiet window.
Then you arrived like a rising fire,
Lifting me out of the cold and mire -
Saving me from the destiny
Of a fading star.

Locked away inside my heart,
A silent map, a fragile spark.
You traced the path I couldn’t see,
And led the light back into me.

All those nights I hid in my shadow,
Lost in the dark where no one follows.
You carried dawn into my scars,
Saving me from falling far -
Saving me from the quiet end
Of a fading star.
