In shadows I dwell, regret in each breath,
To you, whom I've wronged, I confess my soul's depth.
Promised refuge, yet became the storm's wrath,
I wore a mask, leading our hearts to the death.
Promised trust, but broke it apart,
A figure of hope, then a harbinger of dark.
Moments of joy, now buried and stark,
I turned our symphony into a mournful lark.
In a world harsh, I added to your strife,
Promised a sanctuary, brought in the knife.
You defended me, as shadows took life,
Your love, your trust, cut by my strife.
I became what I vowed never to be,
Another man, another haunting memory.
For every defense, every plea,
I let you down, couldn't set you free.
Apologies won't mend, nor time rewind,
Yet, in this verse, my remorse you'll find.
May healing come, leaving pain behind,
I hope, in your heart, forgiveness is designed.
In my failures, in all I did lack,
I hope you find strength, on a brighter track.
For even if our paths never come back,
Sorry remains, a forever echo in the black.
