The poem expresses sadness and regret over hurting something they wanted to protect as the world changes. It references darkness in their heart and a voice like rain that sharpens their senses. While they question why they have to fight, they vow to never forget a small wish that guides them to where it should be. Ash falls like snow from the sky as the speaker comes for their love, having lost what they sought to protect amid the echoes and changes. Each wound makes their heart stronger as they choose to become stronger and have come this far.
