Farewell to Shadows

Lost in shadows, tears fall like rain

Feels like fading, drowning in pain

Year and a half, trying to hold on tight

But her darkness swallowed the light

Silent battles behind closed doors

Words cut deep, scars unseen, wounds from before

She pulled away, further into her night

Leaving behind a man losing his fight

Heartbreaking choices, chasing what's gone

Regrets echoing in every dawn

Trying to grasp the remnants of love’s demise

Watching as his hope slowly dies

Goodbye, I hear the pain in my cry

Fading memories, just a ghost passing by

Lost in the shadows of a love turned to dust

Walking away, I surrender my trust

She whispered lies, a web she spun

Broken promises, all said and done

He faced the darkness, fought to stay sane

But in her silence, there's only pain

Words left unspoken, wounds so deep

Promises broken, no more to keep

He bears the scars of love's cruel game

Trying to forget, but he's afraid to blame

Goodbye, I hear the pain in my cry

Fading memories, just a ghost passing by

Lost in the shadows of a love turned to dust

Walking away, I surrender my trust

He was lost, wandering in the night

Seeking a dawn, a flicker of light

The past haunts, but he’s ready to heal

To break the chains, to truly feel

Goodbye to the pain, to the tears and fears

Welcoming new hopes and brighter years

Though the scars may never fully fade

He finds his strength, he’s not betrayed
