Shadows Of The Mind

Lost in the labyrinth of your mind 

Desperate to break free from its suffocating grip 

A burden weighing heavy on your soul 

Choking the life out of your spirit

Amidst the brightness that surrounds you 

A darkness festers within 

Confusion clouds your thoughts 

And hatred consumes your being

Once vibrant, like the plants in your garden 

Now faded to a lifeless gray 

Just like our days, devoid of meaning 

Lost in the shadows of yesterday

What words do you have left to speak? 

Your voice, like a dried-up well 

Eyes filled with oceans of sorrow 

And a heart, heavy with the weight of the earth

I tried to pull out the weeds 

That had taken root in your heart 

Unraveling your pain, your fears, your past 

But you pushed me away, tearing us apart

Perhaps you found comfort in your darkness 

In a world painted in shades of gray 

If only you had let me in 

I could have turned it into my paradise

But now, you've lost me 

And I look at my life 

Still tinged with your colors 

But free from your strife

I buried the idea of us 

Threw away the poison of your touch 

I worked to rebuild my life 

And make it beautiful once more

Though your essence lingers 

I am grateful to be free 

For your absence has allowed me to bloom 

While you remain lost in your own misery
