In shadows of solitude, I reside
A life unlived, a heart that's died
I searched in strangers' eyes, a gentle gaze
But found instead, a hollow, endless daze
A childhood lost, in emptiness and pain
A soul that withered, like autumn's leaves in vain
I reached for hands, that never held mine own
And whispered secrets, to hearts that were made of stone
Now, as an adult, I wander, lost and alone
Through city streets, that echo with the moans
Of a heart that's broken, a spirit that's worn
A life that's been a journey, through darkness, forlorn
In this silence, I hear, a whispered refrain
A reminder of the ghosts, that haunt my brain
The memories of a life, that's been a heavy chain
A weight that's crushed my soul, and driven me insane.
