Deanna's Shadow

Oh Deanna, what did we become?

A story of love, now shadowed by the past

It was the year 1765, a moment in time

I was lost in your eyes, feeling so divine

You promised me forever, told me I was your moon

But the darkness crept in, beneath the silvered gloom

You left your job, shadows took their place

Control took hold, I couldn't escape

A year and a half of pain and fear

Deanna, why did you let it all appear?

Deanna, why did you lie?

Promised the world, then watched it die

Deanna, why did you hide?

Behind a mask, while I cried

Deanna, why did you betray?

The love we swore, the trust we made

Deanna, I can’t deny

You turned away, I ask why?

You blamed me, for the tears and pain

Kept saying I was your only, but it was all in vain

You left me broken, with scars that won’t fade

While you played the game, in your own charade

You shut the door, kept secrets inside

Took everything, left nothing but pride

I fought to build what we once had

But your lies and abuse turned love into mad

Deanna, why did you lie?

Promised the world, then watched it die

Deanna, why did you hide?

Behind a mask, while I cried

Deanna, why did you betray?

The love we swore, the trust we made

Deanna, I can’t deny

You turned away, I ask why?

Could I have seen through the guise?

Or was I blinded by your disguise?

Now I stand here, broken and lost

Paying the price for the love I gave, the love I lost

Deanna, this is my plea

To understand, to set me free

Though my heart is torn and worn

I still wonder, why you were so forlorn?
