Battle Wounds

Soft white light, shadows linger

A silent cry, hearts slip through fingers

Awakened to a sterile scene, a ghostly white and cold

Echoes of a distant dream, stories untold

Pain painted deep within, scars that never fade

Battles that I fought alone, memories I betrayed

Can’t escape the ghostly past, trapped inside my mind

Cracks in my soul, I collapse, seeking what I can't find

Hold me close, don’t let me go, save me from this blackened sky

Your face a beacon in my night, a reason to survive

Memories like battle wounds, hidden deep behind my pride

With you here, I fight my fears, stay with me tonight

Silent tears streaming down, wounds I cannot see

Fighting battles in my mind, longing to be free

Healing echoes in my heart, a hope I try to hold

Finding strength in love and pain, stories yet untold

Isolation fades away, your touch dispels the night

Together in the dawn's first glow, we chase the fading light
