Shadows of the Heart

Falling into shadows, lost in the night

Seeking a spark, a flicker of light

Where do I begin to tell this tale

Depths of emotion, a sinking sail

A well so deep, too vast to see

Trying to make you understand me

Standing in sorrow's pit, I cry

Pain echoes loud, I wonder why

Want to paint my love in hues so bright

But my colors fade into the night

I am the muse without a brush

A silent call, a gentle hush

Hanging onto worthlessness and pain

In my hollowed-out heart, I remain

The emptiness replaces where love should be

Blessed with forgetfulness, yet longing to see

The light I left behind, now shadows all around

Lost your embrace, where peace was found

Loneliness is my own fault, I concede

Lost in darkness, craving your light to lead

A work of art I wish I could portray

But my voice is only dust and gray

I am the muse without a brush

A silent call, a gentle hush

Hanging onto worthlessness and pain

In my hollowed-out heart, I remain

Can you hear my silent plea?

A whisper lost in an endless sea

Remember the love that used to glow?

In the darkness, I still show

Miss you, self, I long again

In the echoes of my pain, I remain

Waiting for the dawn to break through

Hoping to find a love anew
