Shadows of Us

We started in a flame, burning so bright

Love was a game, felt so right

But shadows crept in, darkening the sun

Now I’m just a shell, where once was fun

Remember the days when laughter was all we knew

A love so pure, so true

But then the nights came with a storm

Changed the warm to a thunderous norm

I kept my eyes closed, ignored the signs

Thought love could heal, thought love could redefine

But every fall, every bruise, every tear

Brought me closer to fears I couldn’t bear

What the f*** is wrong with you?

How did love turn into something so cruel?

I stood in silence, took the hits, held my pride

But inside I’m breaking, I just want to hide

I should have listened, I should have seen

The warning signs, the damage unseen

Now I’m drowning, in tears and despair

Lost in the nightmare, gasping for air

It's time to free myself, break these chains

From the emotional pain, from the haunted remains

What the f*** is wrong with you?

It’s time I find my strength anew
