With Every Deseption

**In Shadows Where I Stand**

In shadows where I stand, llose my way, What to say, what to do, in this dismay.

A heart once thriving, now gripped by the ache,

Your touch ignited joy, yet now, it's a fake.

Each kindness you offered, a spark in the dark,

Yet love's tender glow is now but a mark.

Memories linger, but words drift like sand, I grasp at the silence, unable to stand.

You orchestrate guilt, a cruel masquerade,

As though l've deceived, in the light's cruel shade.

My love, pure and steadfast, still trembles in fear,

Yet you paint me as distant, as if I'm not here.

The truth weighs heavy on this fragile heart,

For holding on tight means we're worlds apart.

With every deception, the trust starts to fray,

And still, I am shackled—will you break away!?
