Love can’t live in the dark
Where light is like a fleeting dream
Hidden behind closed doors
Silent as an imagined scream
We flitter between shadows
Ghosts of what we might have been
Sheltered by the quiet night
With truths too deep to be seen
In this constant state of lack
We grasp for moments, brief and bright
Longing for a day to come
When we no longer need the night
Yet love, it begs to breathe
To feel the warmth of open skies
But here, in secret, we remain
Bound by fear, by whispered lies
No! Love can’t live in the dark
Yet here we dwell, with hearts concealed
Waiting for the dawn to break
For shadows’ truth to be revealed
