In the shadowed corners of my heart,
Lies a love that dares not speak,
For eyes that never meet my gaze,
And words that sigh in silence deep.

Each dawn brings hope yet fades to dusk,
A dance of dreams that never start,
Your smile, a light I cannot touch,
Leaves an ache within my heart.

I’ve written letters never sent,
And songs that only echo pain,
For every glance you cast away,
A thousand tears fall like the rain.

So here I stand in shadows still,
With love unspoken, tears unshed,
A silent plea, a whispered wish,
For you, my love, to turn your head.
