The embrace of Shadows

(Verse 1)

She sat where silence learned to breathe,

A ghost of light beneath her sleeve.

Dark tendrils whispered, “Stay with me,”

Their touch as cold as memory.

(Pre-Chorus)

Her heart—a lantern, dim, confined,

Flickering low against her mind.

(Chorus)

For every tear the darkness fed,

A piece of her was gently bled.

And still she smiled so endlessly—

The shadow’s arms were part of me.

(Verse 2)

The night leaned close, it heard her sigh,

Stars fell quiet in her eyes.

She wore her pain like threads of gold,

A story whispered, never told.

(Pre-Chorus)

Her soul still reached for what was free,

While chains of calm wrapped tenderly.

(Chorus)

For every tear the darkness fed,

A piece of her was gently bled.

And still she smiled so endlessly—

The shadow’s arms were part of me.

(Bridge)

Maybe love’s just light that stays,

When every dawn has lost its way.

Maybe I was never free—

Just bound to her eternity.

(Final Chorus)

For every tear the darkness fed,

A piece of us was gently bled.

And still she smiled—now I can see,

The shadow’s arms were part of me.
