Loneliness’ Shade
In the shadows of your gaze,
Lies a loneliness that does amaze.
Each word you spoke, each promise broken,
Turned my heart to a place unspoken.

With every silence, every sigh,
You made my trust in you die.

Learning to make my own choice.
Forever growing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
