the shadows

In the quiet corners where shadows play,


Loneliness lingers, a heavy gray,


Each echo of laughter, a ghost in the air,


Reminds me of moments when love was rare.


The stars above twinkle, but none see my tears,


Whispering secrets of unspoken fears,


Each smile feels borrowed, a mask that I wear,


Hiding the heartache that lingers in there.

I watch as the world dances, bright and alive,


While I stand on the sidelines, just trying to survive,


The warmth of a touch, the solace of words,


Are distant as dreams, like forgotten birds.


I long for a voice that will break through the night,


To tell me I'm worthy, to hold me so tight,


But silence is heavy, a shroud that I bear,


In the depths of my soul, I find only despair.


So I wander through days, a specter unseen,


Searching for love in the spaces between,


But the emptiness echoes, a bittersweet song,


In a world full of faces, I still feel so wrong.
