Alone in the Shadows

Oh, Ella, when the sun rises and breaks through
The bleakness of my room—you're the first thought
That nestles within the corners of my mind.
But as I wake up, reality's cruel embrace
Grips me tightly, pulling me back to the past.
The present becomes a fleeting moment,
A fragile whisper dancing in the abyss.

In this darkened room, where shadows reside,
I'm haunted by dreams of what used to be.
Beauty, desire, love—now mere illusions
That taunt and torment this weary heart of mine.
In this journey of life, I've met adversity,
And betrayal has stained my once-pure soul.

The world spins around me with chaotic force,
Blinding my eyes to the truth that I seek.
Clouds gather above, casting their shroud of doubt,
Conflicting emotions drown me in their depths.
I cry out into the silence of the night,
As demons whisper their wicked lullabies.

I held onto devotion like a drowning soul,
But now I'm left gasping for air—alone.
Evening's shadows cloak the evanescence
Of a love that once burned like fire in our hearts.
Heartbreak descends upon me like a storm,
Leaving behind an emptiness that reverberates.

Through madness and mistakes, I find myself mourning
The loss of innocence and dreams gone awry.
In this gothic world, where roses wither
And rainbows fade into shades of blackened gray,
Silence becomes my only companion here,
As uncertainty weaves its web around me.

Oh, Ella, I am tethered to this darkness,
Longing for the light that once warmed my soul.
But until that day arrives, I'll remain here,
Lost in the void, embracing solitude's embrace.
For in the depths of despair, a flicker shines—
A spark of hope, guiding me through this abyss.

In this ironic tale of love and despair,
Pain and passion intertwine as one,
As I wander through this dreary universe
With whispered echoes of your name in my ears.
Alone in the shadows, I'll find my solace,
And let the ghosts of our love linger on.
