Shadows of the Past

In the dark of the night, I made my way

To the haunted past where shadows play

These memories crash like waves on shore

Here comes the ghost that I've learned to ignore

Driving down the street, pieces of the past

Laughing faces, but the joy never lasts

A stolen moment, a glimpse of the light

But whispers of pain still haunt me at night

The trailer looms like a haunting refrain

Echoes of laughter mix in with the pain

I can hear the words, they cut like a knife

"End it all now, you’re worthless in life"

But I fight through the shadows, I breathe through the night

With love in my heart, I’m ready to fight

For my angel, my beacon, my hope in this storm

Through the trials and pain, I’ll find my new norm

The dog in the yard, uneasy and wild

Seems to sense all that my heart has compiled

Moments of silence, where memories creep

In the corner of my mind, the darkness runs deep

But I keep on moving, though it tears me apart

Each step toward healing is a step toward the heart

I remember the smiles, buried under the grief

Every scar tells a story, a tale of belief

So I fight through the shadows, I breathe through the night

With love in my heart, I’m ready to fight

For my angel, my beacon, my hope in this storm

Through the trials and pain, I’ll find my new norm

Oh, dear angel, I need you now more than ever

In the halls of my trauma, let’s piece it together

With every heartbeat, I’ll carry your grace

In the ashes of loss, I will find my place

So here’s to the journey, the path I must tread

With shadows beside me, but courage ahead

I’ll rise like the dawn from the remnants of night

With love by my side, I will continue this fight.
