Shadows of Innocence

Whispers of a lost innocence, shadows in my mind

Carried wounds I can't undo, scars I try to hide

Born into a silent storm, no voice to claim my right

Fighting every hidden ghost, chasing fading light

Walls around a fragile heart, built from tears and fears

Lost in memories that haunt, through the lonely years

Wanting love but terrified, caught between hope and doubt

Self-sabotage whispers lies, pushing love’s way out

I fight the pain inside, shadows of what I can't undo

A hopeless romantic trying to find, a love that’s true

Fear of losing what I crave, chains I made from my past

Wishing I could let go, find peace at last

Childhood shadows linger, stealing innocence away

Now I wear my armor, afraid to let anyone stay

Love feels like a double-edged sword, so sweet yet so cruel

Holding on too tight, letting go, a constant duel

Desire laced with fear, echoing in my mind

Building walls so tall, afraid to be confined

I fight the pain inside, shadows of what I can't undo

A hopeless romantic trying to find, a love that’s true

Fear of losing what I crave, chains I made from my past

Wishing I could let go, find peace at last

Broken pieces of a past long gone, trying to rebuild

Hoping someday love will find me, a heart finally healed

But the fear screams so loud, I retreat and hide

Longing for connection, yet terrified to confide

Maybe someday I’ll break free, from these chains that bind

Find the love I’ve been searching for, peace within my mind

Till then I’ll fight the shadows, hold onto the light

Hoping for a dawn that ends this night
