Chains of Deceit

In the shadows where silence lies,

All the whispers drown in alibis.

You, the ghost in my heart,

Left me shattered, fallen apart.

You walked in with your golden chains,

But I was just the spark in your games.

Like a puppet, I danced on a string,

While you flaunted your diamond ring.

Every laugh I shared turned to ash,

Drowning in the hope of a love that won’t last.

You seek their approval, but I need your heart,

Tell me, love, was it worth it from the start?

You’ll never see me as your light,

An option dressed in shadows of night.

I’ll stop screaming, I’ll stop the fight,

Break these chains, let me take flight.

The truth is cold, and it stings like a knife,

Just a page in the book of your life.

I gave you pieces, you just took them away,

Built a mansion on my decay.

If you told them all the wrongs you’ve made,

Would they hold you tight or let you fade?

I’m haunted by the dreams that once could fly,

But they turned to whispers and all I do is cry.

You cling to the night while I long for the dawn,

Deep down inside, I know I’m already gone.

You’ll never see me as your light,

An option dressed in shadows of night.

I’ll stop screaming, I’ll stop the fight,

Break these chains, let me take flight.

The truth is cold, and it stings like a knife,

Just a page in the book of your life.

So here I stand, with my heart on a thread,

Resigning to memories, in silence I tread.

No more battles, no more lies,

I’ll gather my strength and finally rise.

Goodbye to the wounds, to the love that won’t stay,

Watch me reclaim my heart, I won’t fade away.

You’ll never love me, that much I can see,

But I’m breaking these chains, finally free.
