Your hurt, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your pain, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

You couldn't break my spirit hard.

About Someone

Wounds of the Heart

In the shadows of our past,
Lies a hurt that will last.
Each word you spoke, each cutting glance,
Turned my joy into a trance.
Your presence, a haunting light,
Turned my brightness into night.
With every lie, every tear,
You made my love disappear.
Your betrayal, a harsh wave,
In your hurt, I am brave.
In your memory, I found my fight,
Learning to turn wrong into right.
Forever healing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
