Now I'm sitting in shadows, whispering your name,
In the silence, I carry the weight of this blame.
You’re the star in his sky while I’m lost in the night,
Dancing ‘round the truth, it’s a bittersweet fight.
With every glance you take, I feel the ground shake,
You wear love like armor; my heart starts to break.
I watch from this distance, a ghost to your grace,
Wondering how I ended up in this lonely place.
He told me sweet stories wrapped in soft lies,
But a heart made for two can’t wear one disguise.
I can’t be the thunder while your world is at peace,
But here in the shadows, my sorrow won’t cease.
Each tear falls like raindrops on my aching soul,
Longing for connection, but losing control.
You laugh in the sunlight, while I linger in grey,
A love that’s forbidden, I’m lost in the fray.
And oh, I feel the heartache, the longing so deep,
You’re the dream that he sees when he lies down to sleep.
But I’m trapped in a heartbeat, a flicker of flame,
Forever just playing this impossible game.
Once I dared to believe, that fate could be kind,
But the love that I wanted has left me behind.
In the echoes of heartbeats, I find my refrain,
A melody haunted, a whisper of pain.
So here’s to the moments that fade into dusk,
To the things that were promised but turned into husk.
I’ll rise from this chapter, learn how to withstand,
For the other woman’s tale, I’ll write my own hand.
And while you shine brightly, I’ll find my own light,
In the mirror of lost love, I’ll rise from the night.
Though I walked in the shadows, I’ll dance in the sun,
With each step I take, the healing’s begun.
