Fading Away Like Shadows In The Rain

In the shadows of our love's demise,

I sacrificed all beneath the weeping skies.

For your love, I morphed my very being,

Yet you declared my presence too demeaning.

With every beat, I devoted my heart,

Yet you tore it apart, tearing me apart.

Body and soul, all laid bare,

Yet your rejection hangs heavy in the air.

I altered myself, a chameleon's hue,

All for the sake of pleasing you.

But in the end, it was not enough,

My efforts deemed inadequate, my love rebuffed.

And so, with a heavy heart, I depart,

Promising to never again impart

My presence upon your world, my love,

For it seems I am not what you dreamed of.

Farewell, my once cherished one,

May your path be brightened by a different sun.

Though I'll carry the weight of this pain,

I'll fade away, my love, like shadows in the rain.
