In shadows deep, a fear I hold,
The reason why, my heart grows cold.
I dread the day you might get caught,
In dreams of me, in love you sought.

For when that time, I slip away,
You’ll find yourself in dismay.
Instead of strength, you’ll find despair,
Your hopes reaching for empty air.

I wish for you to rise and shine,
To stand alone, to claim what’s thine.
But in that moment, when I stray,
I fear the hurt that comes your way.

So heed my words, take heed this night,
In shadows cast, find your own light.
Though I may falter, I cannot stay,
Stand strong, dear heart, come what may.
