Silent Shadows

In the quiet corners of her mind
Silent shadows, she hides

She closes the door, locks the world outside
Seeking solace where she can hide
A worn-out picture of days gone by
Lost in a whisper of a goodbye

Silent shadows, lurking in her room
Haunting echoes in silent gloom
Hiding from the world, avoiding the view
A lonely girl, caught in a due

Fading faces, blurred and gray
Dimming light, her only stay
A fragile heart in disarray
Longs for dawn, yet fears the day

In her solitude, she remains unseen
Waiting for a spark, a new dawn to glean
Silent shadows, her endless scene
Hoping one day to break free and dream
