In shadows cast by my own hand,
A storm I’ve brewed across the land,
I hurt the ones I hold so dear,
My presence, now a source of fear.
I am the chaos in the night,
The reason love has taken flight,
Each word I speak, a heavy stone,
Leaves the heart I love alone.
I see your tears, a silent rain,
Reflecting all my endless pain,
I built the walls that keep you out,
And filled your world with endless doubt.
I wish to mend, to start anew,
To change the path I’ve led us through,
Yet, every step I make, I see,
Leads further from who I should be.
How can I fix the hurt I\'ve done?
The darkness hides the rising sun,
I’m the shadow, in your light,
Haunting dreams, all through the night.
Yet deep inside, a flicker burns,
A hope that somehow love returns,
Though I am the problem, and I bear the blame,
I yearn to end this endless shame.
To leave behind the broken past,
To make amends, a peace at last,
But maybe, I must step away,
To let you find a brighter day.
In your eyes, I see the plea,
For freedom from the storm of me,
Perhaps, the best gift I can give,
Is to let you go, to truly live.
I write these words with heavy heart,
Knowing that we must part,
For in this world, I am the flaw,
The one who broke love’s gentle law.
Yet, I hold onto the hope,
That one day, you\'ll learn to cope,
And find the love that you deserve,
A love that neither wavers nor swerves.
So I will leave, with love and care,
Hoping one day you\'ll be aware,
That though I caused the tears to fall,
My love for you was true through it all.
