In shadows cast by whispers deep, A trembling heart begins to weep. I’m sorry for this fragile guise, A broken promise, love’s disguise. Please don't depart, from me impound, Though strength elusive can confound. I long to hold, mend waves of fears, To cradle dreams amid the tears. I mourn the weight I cannot bear, A family’s hope, a heavy care. Yet selfish threads entwine my soul, I seek the light to make me whole. Forgive these flaws, this timid plea, In weakness, faith can still set free. In love's embrace, I strive to be, The strength you need—eternally.
