In the shadows of our love, we stand,
Bound by chains we cannot see,
Each word a dagger, each touch a brand,
In this toxic dance, we cease to be.

Once a spark that lit the night,
Now a flame that sears the soul,
The whispers turn to shouts of spite,
In this storm, we’ve lost control.

Promises made with fingers crossed,
Smiles that hide the deepest scars,
The cost of love is what we’ve lost,
Hearts entangled behind bars.

Yet in this pain, we still reside,
Hoping for the dawn to break,
But in this toxic tide,
We drown in every mistake.
