In the quiet corners of my mind,

 Shadows stretch and softly bind, 

A heavy shroud, this weight I wear,

Whispers of sorrow linger in the air.

Though hand in hand with love I stand,

My soulmate's warmth, a gentle hand,

Yet still, I feel the heart's cold ache,

A missing piece, a constant break.

We dance through days, our laughter bright,

But in the depths, there dwells a night,

Where thoughts entangle, dark and deep,

 And memories drown as I silently weep.

You've mended the cracks, my heart you’ve sewn,
Yet echoes of loneliness feel overgrown,

In crowded rooms, I still stand apart,

An island adrift with a heavy heart.

Together we weave through life's vivid streams,
Yet shadows chase me, devouring dreams,

 I smile for you, but the pain still remains,

An echoing whisper of unspoken chains.

In moments of joy, a fleeting reprieve,
 The love that we share is hard to believe,
 But deep in the silence, where sorrow may creep,
 I find the connection runs shallow and steep.

So here I linger, a soul in disguise,

Wishing for solace beneath the bright skies,

 With love by my side, I fight everyday,

Yet still feel the weight of this heart's disarray.

Oh, please understand, though the smile may fade,
It's not you, my love, it's this shadow I've made.

I’m grateful for you, my radiant light,
But battling silence in the dark of the night.

For healing is tender, a journey, a quest,

To piece together this heart that won't rest,

I reach for your hand and I seek to be free, but I’m stuck in my head
