In shadows deep  where silence grows  A heart once bright now only knows  The weight of love that slipped away  In quiet nights  I long and sway.   Each memory like a whispered sigh  Reminds me of the days gone by  When laughter danced in morning light  Now echoes fade lost to the night.   I search for warmth in empty spaces  But find instead the cold embraces  Of loneliness my only friend  A bitter truth that won’t soon end.   The ache of love is sharp and clear  It cuts so deep it brings the tears  I'm longing for a hand to hold  In dreams of warmth my heart feels cold.   Yet still I hope though shadows loom  That one day light will chase the gloom  For in this heart a spark remains  A wish for love to heal these pains.
