Where Shadows Fall

Echos of laughter, fading light,

When shadows stretch and say goodbye.

I'm standing lost, all alone,

With a heart that feels like a stone.

You held my dreams, you wore my name,

Brought sunshine into the rain.

But the tides have turned, like bitter winds,

The one I hoped for slipped away again.

Oh, I thought you were the one,

But now, you shine for someone new.

All the whispered words, undone,

And here I am still missing you.

No one ever on your side,

When the world leaves you to hide,

Now my heart’s a battlefield,

And love’s a weapon that revealed,

What I lost, what I gave,

A silent cry, an empty brave.

You changed your path, now I’m away,

Left to wonder, where'd you stray?

Every step, it feels so wrong,

You dancing close to a brand new song.

Memories flood, they twist and turn,

Lessons learned, but still I yearn.

Once I thought you understood,

But fate plays games, it never could.

Saw your smile, now it’s not mine,

Passing by, like stars that shine.

No one ever on your side,

When the world leaves you to hide,

Now my heart’s a battlefield,

And love’s a weapon that revealed,

What I lost, what I gave,

A silent cry, an empty brave.

You changed your path, now I’m away,

Left to wonder, where'd you stray?

Maybe one day, you’ll look back too,

See what it was, the love we knew.

But till then, I’ll walk this road,

With every tear, I’ll bear the load.

No one ever on your side,

In the echo where we bide.

Your laughter haunts, a bittersweet sound,

Lost my heart to the lost and found.
