They Took Her at Sunrise

Sky was still half-blue, Half burning gold. I knew before they knocked.

Boots on gravel, slow and clean, Badge light cutting through the screen. You stood there quiet, didn’t run, Like you’d already faced the sun.

Your hand found mine without a shake, Like love was just a choice to make. No tears, no begging eyes — Just that look that never lies.

You don’t hold that steady Unless you mean it

They took her at sunrise, But they didn’t take her from me. Chains on her wrists, But her fire still runs in my blood, you see. No cell, no law, no line drawn in the sand — Can bury what we planned. They took her at sunrise, But she’s still in my hands.

She didn’t ask me to come, Didn’t ask me to fight. Just pressed her forehead to mine, Like that would hold the night.

They said I’d forget her name, Said time would make it fade. But love like that don’t disappear — It brands, it doesn’t break.

You don’t walk that calm Unless you’ve already chosen

They took her at sunrise, But they didn’t touch her soul. Steel can lock a body down, It can’t lock what we hold. No judge, no town, no mercy planned — Can break what we began. They took her at sunrise, But she’s still my woman.

If she’s breathing, She’s mine. If she’s not — She’s still mine.

They took her at sunrise, With the desert still asleep. But love don’t end in handcuffs, And it don’t bow to defeat. Let the morning burn the land, Let the whole world stand — They took her at sunrise… But they’ll never take her from my hands.
