Shadows and Whispers

Shadows creep, silent and cold

Lost in echoes of stories retold

Whispers of what used to be whole

Walking alone in the night’s dark fold

Broken pieces scattered on the floor

Trying to mend what’s torn and sore

Every promise fades, unread lore

Living in a war I can't ignore

Hope flickers then disappears

Drowning in my silent tears

Questioning if I belong here

In this maze of doubts and fears

Feeling broken but yearning to feel whole

Caught in the middle, losing control

Thought he was changing, but it’s a lie

Living with the hurt, wondering why

Is being alone the only way?

To escape the pain, the endless sway

Unseen, unheard, in the dark I cry

Searching for a reason, asking why

Maybe it’s better to stand alone

To find a place where I can own

My voice, my pain, my cry

Underneath the vast, unspoken sky

Maybe someday I’ll find my way

Through the night, into the day

Until then, I’ll remain

Seeking light in the endless rain
