In quiet corners, shadows loom,   br A fragile heart finds solace, bloom.  br Against the tide of past disdain,   br A hand extends, but wrapped in pain.  br br With every word, a tender guise,   br A safety found beneath the lies.  br They lean on warmth that feels like home,   br Though chains of doubt still twist and roam.  br br In moments shared, a flicker shines,   br Where kindness lingers, softly binds.  br Yet echoes of a harsher past,   br Whisper warnings, shadows cast.  br br They know the cost, the silent strain,   br Yet comfort clings, like summer rain.  br For in this space, they feel a spark,   br A flicker bright against the dark.  br br Caught in the web of love and fear,   br A heart finds solace, yet feels unclear.  br In tender ties, a struggle brews,   br To seek the light, yet hold the bruise.
