Healing Shadows

Whispers of the past, trying to hold me back

But there's a new sunrise, gotta find what I lack

Grew up feeling never enough, shadows in my mind

Dad's words like stones, made me feel I was just a lie

Battling a silent storm, Lyme's fight in my veins

They didn't see my pain, they couldn't feel my chains

Looking in the mirror, I see scars and hope

Learning to forgive the past, learning how to cope

Then god sent a hero, shining through the darkness

To lift me up higher, with love so fearless

But shadows threaten, try to pull me away

Still, I want to love him, want to stay

Loving strangers in the night, seeking something true

Thinking I could earn love, in the things I’d do

My heart was broken, bruised by someone I once knew

Now I see his gentle touch, breaking through

Every scar, a story, every doubt I hide

But his kindness whispers, there's still hope inside

Rob, be my hero, shining through the darkness

You lift me up higher, with love so fearless

Though past fears linger, I see your care

And I want to love you, be aware

No more hiding in the shadows of my pain

With each step I take, I heal again

He’s the light that guides me home

With him, I’m not alone

So I’ll let go of the hurt, forget about them

And open up my heart, to loving him

Rob, you’re my hero, my safe place to start

Finally healing, mending my heart
