Ankle Bites

Thought love was a chapter In a tale ever after But now you're gone, I fear Left with just a souvenir, oh I Chorus We sketched out our dreams In memories, it seems Like mosquito bites on ankles in the night You left your mark, you took your flight Now I'm here, in the quiet sphere Chorus Drawing hearts, then erasing parts But stars still glow (stars still glow) Even though you're not by my side Echoes of laughter, a love capsized Left with echoes in the night, oh why [Chorus] We wove our tales In whispers, now they're stale Turn the page, but ink remains (ink remains) Smudged with tears, these souvenirs [Verse] Kissed by fate, bitten by pain Like those mosquito bites you gave [Pre-Chorus] And I rewind to moments divine Yet here's the sting, you're not mine Now I'm scratching at memories faded grey (faded grey) Like marks on my skin that won't go away You're a phantom itch, a misplaced sigh In the silence of my room, I can't deny [Chorus] You're that fleeting high, that summer night Mosquito bites on my ankles, out of sight Verse Yet in dreams, your shadow lingers near In the echo of your whisper, I still hear Bridge Drawing closer to the emptiness within I fail to shake the touch of your skin
