Peace in the Shadows

Lost in his world, I thought love was real

But shadows reveal what was concealed

I gave my all, my strength, my trust

Thought our vows were more than just dust

He was absent, chasing another’s smile

Left me defeated, alone all the while

He painted himself the victim’s guise

While I was fading, cryin’ silent cries

But now I see through the charade

My heart’s no longer afraid

I'm finally free, lifting my head high

Healing's begun, I can finally fly

Even if I’m sick and my body's worn

I’m better off now that he's gone

His world was a lie, a cruel charade

I found my peace in the scars he made

He's with someone new, but I don’t care

I'm stronger now, breathe freer air

Turning pain into strength, I’ve learned to forgive

The wounds are my story, I choose how to live

No more villains, just my own truth

Walking forward, reclaiming my youth

Peace in my soul, despite the ache

Love’s a risk, but I finally break

His new love may bloom, that’s his fate

But I am whole, I’ve sealed my state
