In the quiet shadows of my heart, I keep
A love so deep, yet bound by chains unseen.
Your voice, a whisper in my restless sleep,
A dream of what our love could mean.

Each day I tread the path we cannot share,
Your eyes, a distant star in endless night.
My soul, entangled in this silent snare,
Yearns for your touch, a beacon’s light.

Yet fate, a cruel and unyielding foe,
Places you beyond my reach, so near yet far.
Our hearts, two ships in twilight’s gentle glow,
Adrift in seas where love’s paths never are.

So here I linger, in this bittersweet embrace,
Loving you in shadows, unseen and unheard.
My love, a secret in time’s endless race,
Forever bound by an unspoken word.
