When love comes around, it dances in play,  
A game of hide and seek, in bright hues of gray.  
It whispers in shadows, a fleeting embrace,  
Yet slips through your fingers, a delicate trace.  

Like lightning in summer, it sparks with a glow,  
But often it vanishes, a soft, gentle woe.  
In laughter it lingers, in silence it dwells,  
A mystery wrapped in unspoken spells.  

You chase after dreams that shimmer like stars,  
But love’s gentle touch is behind fragile bars.  
It teases the heart with its intricate game,  
A puzzle of feelings, always the same.  

Though you may not hold it, and you cannot see,  
In the depths of your spirit, it's wild and it's free.  
So when love comes around, let it spin you about,  
For in its sweet journey, there's no room for doubt.

In the silence of the night, my eyelids close,  
Yet shadows creep and in darkness, they impose.  
Dreams shift like smoke, a haunting parade,  
Whispers of the past in memories replayed.  

You slip through my fingers, a phantom in the night,  
A flicker of hope lost in the fading light.  
I reach for your essence, but you drift away,  
A wisp of nostalgia, just beyond the fray.  

Tears fall like rain, a storm in my soul,  
Anger and sorrow take their toll.  
With you by my side, I could find a way,  
To trust in a world that led me astray.  

But here in this darkness, I'm left all alone,  
A heart full of longing, a mind overthrown.  
If only you'd linger, if only you'd stay,  
Together we’d face the dawn of a new day.

In a crowd where no one sees,  
I stand beneath the weight of stares,  
Like a shadow in a gallery,  
A canvas painted with their fears.  

A heart, vibrant but hidden deep,  
Layered beneath the surface bright,  
Knowing the echoes that cut and seep,  
Through the silence of a lonely night.  

I wear a mask of smiles and jest,  
Laughing off the pain I feel,  
Risking trust, a daily test,  
In a world where wounds remain concealed.  

I bend my soul to fit their mold,  
Changing colors to blend in line,  
With every compromise, I feel less bold,  
Yearning for a love that’s truly mine.  

When the rain falls, my tears align,  
A mingling of sorrow, a soft refrain,  
But in the depths, a hope will shine,  
For one who sees me beyond the pain.  

To be embraced for every flaw,  
To find a heart that understands,  
A hand in mine, without a flaw,  
A promise in the shifting sands.  

So I’ll keep searching through the haze,  
For that rare soul who holds the key,  
To shatter glass and end the maze,  
And love me wholly, just for me.

In the shadow of a fading day,  
Where whispers linger, lost in the fray,  
I gather fragments, pieces of light,  
Searching for meaning in the heart of the night.  

Ghosts of laughter echo through trees,  
The wind carries secrets, a gentle tease,  
Yet silence, a shroud, holds tight to my breath,  
As I dance with the specters of love and of death.  

Beneath the surface where colors drain,  
I walk through memories, both joy and pain,  
A tether to moments that slip through my hands,  
Like grains of soft sand on forgotten sands.  

What does it mean to feel the weight,  
Of sorrow and joy intertwined by fate?  
In darkness I wander, in light I may roam,  
Seeking the warmth of a heart once called home.  

And in the stillness, a question remains,  
Do words hold power when wrapped in chains?  
If apologies echo in absence and void,  
What’s left of the heart when all love is destroyed?  

So here I stand, on the edge of this fall,  
Searching for solace in the midst of it all,  
With each breath I take and each tear I release,  
I’ll find my own way to that fragile peace.
