Shadows of an Unloved Soul

Darkness descends, the haunting shroud

A soul reluctant, alone and proud

Mirror reflects a battered soul

Shadows whisper, take control

No desire to pledge my heart

Fear of loss tearing apart

Love’s a blade, sharp and cold

Dreading stories that unfold

Won't open up, won't lose control

Bound in agony, empty and whole

I don’t wanna find love, to watch it fade

Fear of the end, I’m barricading the way

Caught in this endless night, no dawn in sight

Refusing to grow old, fight the dying light

Promises shatter, dreams decay

Love’s battlefield, I stay away

Eyes shut tight, prevent the pain

Loving only brings suffering’s reign

Hearts break, time gnaws and tears

Facing the truth, I face my fears

Won’t surrender, won’t let it in

The agony, the bittersweet sin

I don’t wanna find love, to watch it fade

Fear of the end, I’m barricading the way

Caught in this endless night, no dawn in sight

Refusing to grow old, fight the dying light

Eternal darkness, my only friend

No love to lose, no tears to lend

In solitude I shall remain

Avoid the sorrow, avoid the pain

Shattered hope, broken core

Love’s forbidden, can’t ignore

Stand alone in shadows deep

A deathly vow, my soul to keep

Alone forever, time’s cruel game

Loving no one, bearing no shame

Frozen in fear, I’ll never fold

A lonely story, never told
