The pain, but new beginning.

In shadows deep  I hear the cries  
A house once warm  now filled with lies.

The echoes of their angry shouts  
Turn love to fear  as silence doubts.


I saw their hands  raised in the night  
Once gentle touches turned to fright.

My heart would race  a child in pain  
Wishing for peace  but finding rain.


The walls would tremble  the windows shake  
As love turned cruel  and hearts would break.

I hid away  so small and scared  
In every fight  I felt unprepared.


Now memories haunt me  like a ghost  
Of laughter lost  what mattered most.

The warmth of hugs  now cold as stone  
In every tear  I feel alone.


But still I hope for brighter days  
Where love can heal and light can blaze.

I dream of joy, a softer touch  
And in my heart  I long for much.
