In the shadows where whispers ache,
A heart learns to bend, never to break.
Promises like chains, tight and cold,
Love’s harsh story, silently told.

Eyes once bright, now dim with fear,
Dreams crushed beneath each tear.
The silent cries in the dark of night,
A soul pleading for the dawn’s light.

Hope flickers like a distant star,
Trapped in a world where scars are the bar.
Yet beneath the weight of lies and blame,
A spirit strives to reclaim its name.

In the quiet, strength begins to rise,
Breaking free from the web of lies.
A journey toward the healing sun,
Where love’s true song can be sung.
