In the silence where shadows dwell,
Lies a heart that once knew light,
Bound by chains of whispered spells,
Yearning to escape the night.

Words that cut and eyes that burn,
Promises shattered on the floor,
In the dance of love’s cruel turn,
Hope becomes a distant shore.

Hands that once caressed with care,
Now hold the weight of unseen scars,
In the mirror, a soul laid bare,
Dreams confined behind these bars.

But in the cracks, the light does seep,
A voice within begins to rise,
From the darkness, a promise to keep,
To break free and touch the skies.
