Cracks in Shadow

Empty rooms with echoes faint

Memories I can't repaint

Heart beats loud in silent cries

Longing stares to endless skies

Cold wind whispers secrets lost

Every smile comes with a cost

Voices soft now distant gone

Lonely nights that stretch till dawn

Shattered glass of dreams once whole

Fragments pierce a fragile soul

Walking paths of sorrow deep

In the dark my fears I keep

Misty eyes in morning light

Chasing ghosts in endless night

Hope like dust slips through my hand

Lost in fog I cannot stand

Skies so gray and tears so blue

Can't escape the thoughts of you

Chains unseen they hold so tight

Trapped within my own twilight

Whispered names in shadows bow

Promises that time won't allow

Broken wings that cannot mend

Waiting for this ache to end
