Shadows of a Love Lost

A story of love, then loss, a trail of pain,

Lost in the echo of a love gone insane.

Started out in twenty twenty-three,

With Deanna, she was the light for me.

Two months of sunshine, then the shadows grew,

She left her job, what was I supposed to do?

Pre-Chorus]

Bills to pay, the burden heavy on my back,

Cooked, cleaned, no time to slack.

Then came the roommate, the storm in disguise,

Verbal storms, darkening the skies.

Cut my throat, cut my wrist,

Thoughts so heavy, couldn’t resist.

Fighting demons, lost in this fight,

Trying to find the truth through the night.

November’s cold, the food was scarce,

Starving soul, drowning in despair.

Arrested, a felony for love I’d defend,

Held on to her, right till the end.

Moved to Kansas, new starts, new fears,

Her mother’s words ringing in my ears.

Verbal arrows, slicing deep,

In this nightmare, cannot sleep.

Cut my throat, cut my wrist,

Thoughts so heavy, couldn’t resist.

Fighting demons, lost in this fight,

Trying to find the truth through the night.

Echoes of love, wounds in time,

Searching for peace, a reason, a rhyme.

Lost in a world that turned so cold,

Fighting for a heart that’s grown old.

From the start to the final fall,

Love’s a battlefield, after all.

But hope remains, a flickering light,

Clinging to dawn after endless night.
