In the shadow of his gaze, I stand alone,
Trying to reach a love I cannot own.
His light so bright, it blinds my way,
Yet here I linger, night and day.

In whispered dreams, I hear his voice,
A melody that leaves me with no choice.
But doubt creeps in, a silent thief,
Stealing my worth, sowing disbelief.

I weave myself in threads of hope,
Yet find I’m lost, unable to cope.
For in his world, I seem to fade,
A fleeting shadow, a soft cascade.

Still, I yearn for a gentle touch,
Knowing I may never be enough.
Yet in my heart, a fire remains,
A love that lingers, despite the chains.
