Shadows Deep Poem by Bethany Taite

In shadows deep, a love once bright
Now shattered glass, in dead of night
He took my heart, with careless hand
And left me here, in broken land

His whispers sweet, like summer sun
Now echoes cold, as day is done
The promises, now broken lies
A haunting ghost, beneath the skies

I search for him, in empty rooms
But find only echoes, of his perfume
Gone like the wind, without a trace
Leaving behind an empty space

But in the silence, I find my voice
I am strong, I have no choice
To rise from ashes, like a flame
And turn my heartache, into a name

So let him go, into the night
For I am the one, who shines so bright
I will not be defined, by his cruel decree
For I am more, than he could see

And though he left, without a word
My heart will heal, my voice be heard
I am a woman, strong and true
And I will rise, anew.
