Shadows v 7.0

In a cold cell, my heart beat in time,

Locked away, dreaming of a life that’s mine.

Behind that glass, our laughter was a spark,

Building bonds in the shadows, lighting the dark.

But freedom's edge came, I swore I’d make it right,

With every touch of gold, I’d shine in her light.

I'm fighting shadows that no one can see,

Trying to reach her, but I'm lost in debris.

Oh, the love we shared is like a fading song,

I need her back, can't let this go on too long.

Her eighth birthday came, balloons filled the air,

But dreams turned to whispers, pain I had to bear.

Fighting through the courts, every battle I faced,

Yet as I won the war, love felt like it was misplaced.

Now silence screams where laughter used to be,

A heart once warm, now longing for her to see.

I'm fighting shadows that no one can see,

Trying to reach her, but I'm lost in debris.

Oh, the love we shared is like a fading song,

I need her back, can't let this go on too long.

Tell me, how to mend what you don’t understand?

In this dance of sorrow, I reach for your hand.
