From Afar with Love

In the shadows where I stand,

Whispers of a love unplanned,

Feel the thunder, pounding heart,

From a distance, never part.

You shine like stars in a velvet sky,

While I’m lost, trying to get by,

Your laughter rings, a haunting sound,

In my silence, love is bound.

I see your light, but I walk alone,

Carved in stone, this heart has grown,

Fingers reach, but I hold back,

Every word, like a silent track.

I’ll pray for you, from far away,

Smile for you at the end of day,

Though my heart is locked in chains,

I’ll love you still, despite the pains.

Caught in dreams, where shadows play,

Chasing glimpses that slip away,

In every tear, there’s a flame,

Beneath the darkness, it feels the same.

Your every joy, a bitter sweet,

I linger here, in defeat,

A ghost in your world, I can’t betray,

While I’m loving you, you’re miles away.

I’ll pray for you, from far away,

Smile for you at the end of day,

Though my heart is locked in chains,

I’ll love you still, despite the pains.

Come the night, when silence reigns,

I scream your name through the aching veins,

Within this void, there’s no retreat,

A war inside, I can't defeat.

So I’ll remain, your faithful ghost,

In every prayer, it’s you I’ll toast,

With dark beats echoing my plight,

Always watching, in love’s sweet fight.
