Shadows of My Heart

Whispers in the dark, shadows on the wall,

Once held in your arms, now I feel so small.

Memories of laughter, echoes of our dreams,

Life was a fairytale, or so it seemed.

Every sunrise felt like magic,

With you by my side, life was so fantastic.

Waking up to smiles, and our little man’s cheer,

Now the mornings are empty, filled with doubt and fear.

I held onto the past, like a dying ember,

But now my heart's bruised, can’t seem to remember

The joy we once shared and the love we turned to,

Now it’s all slipping, all fading from view.

Oh, can’t you see, I’m lost in the storm,

Everything I cherished, now feels so worn.

He was my soulmate, the sun in my skies,

But now I’m standing here, with tears in my eyes.

Accusations flying, hitting hard and swift,

In this lonely battle, it feels like a rift.

I’m just a mother trying to keep it all real,

But every whispered doubt just adds to the surreal.

Once a loving family, now echoes of despair,

Trying to find shelter in this dark affair.

Our little one deserves a life filled with light,

But how can I fight when I’m losing my sight?

Oh, can’t you see, I’m lost in the storm,

Everything I cherished, now feels so worn.

He was my soulmate, the sun in my skies,

But now I’m standing here, with tears in my eyes.

Yet in the silence, I feel a tiny spark,

The strength of a mother, igniting the dark.

I’ll rise for my son; I’ll learn how to cope,

With every heartbeat, I’ll hold onto hope.

Oh, can’t you see, I’m lost in the storm,

Everything I cherished, now feels so worn.

He was my soulmate, the sun in my skies,

But I’ll keep on fighting, I'll dry these tears from my eyes.

So here’s to tomorrow, where new dreams will bloom,

I’ll stand strong for my child, I’ll fight through the gloom.

Though love may be lost, I’ll find a way to mend,

For we are still here, and this is not the end.
