In shadows deep where silence grows
A heart once bright now only knows  
The weight of love that slipped away  
In quiet nights  I long and sway.  
Each memory like a whispered sigh
Reminds me of the days gone by
When laughter danced in morning light  
Now echoes fade lost to the night.  
I search for warmth in empty spaces  
But find instead the cold embraces
Of loneliness my only friend  
A bitter truth that won’t soon end.  
The ache of love is sharp and clear
It cuts so deep it brings the tears  
I'm longing for a hand to hold
In dreams of warmth my heart feels cold.
  Yet still I hope though shadows loom  
That one day light will chase the gloom
For in this heart a spark remains
A wish for love to heal these pains.
