Unhealed wounds

As dawn's embrace paints a somber hue, Memories surge, a bittersweet review. A void remains, an icy grip, Where childhood's innocence took a slip. Through trials faced, I've forged my way, Yet time's relentless march leaves me astray. (Chorus) Dreams stolen, a cruel and bitter jest, Life's lessons harsh, a silent, haunting pest. No solace found, no hearts to care, Unprepared for pain, left in despair. In darkness lost, I wander alone, Yearning for a day my spirit can be known. Whispers echo, truths too harsh to bear, Reasons undisclosed, vanished in despair. With valiant grace, she masked her plight, But in her eyes, I saw a fading light. (Chorus) Dreams stolen, a cruel and bitter jest, Life's lessons harsh, a silent, haunting pest. No solace found, no hearts to care, Unprepared for pain, left in despair. In darkness lost, I wander alone, Yearning for a day my spirit can be known. Where lies my sanctuary in this endless maze? Amidst the chaos, can I find a place to gaze? Resilience I seek, to rise anew, Or shall I dwell in pain, my spirit's due? (Bridge) In twilight's grip, a home devoid of cheer, I watch the world through tear-filled eyes, my pain so clear. Dreams flicker dim, like embers in the night, I long for strength to guide my weary flight. (Chorus) Dreams stolen, a cruel and bitter jest, Life's lessons harsh, a silent, haunting pest. No solace found, no hearts to care, Unprepared for pain, left in despair. In darkness lost, I wander alone, Yearning for a day my spirit can be known. With every passing hour, the echoes linger, Dreams intertwined with memories of bitter rigor. Yet, amidst the shadows, a flicker of light, A glimmer of hope to guide my weary flight. (Outro) In youth's crucible, my spirit will ignite, Reclaiming dreams stolen beneath hostile skies. For in this eternal battle, I will find my way, And heal the wounds that darkened my yesterday.
