Shadows between us

I remember the days, the laughter the play, when We were just kids, and the world felt okay Hours would pass in our little world, two sisters united Dreams unfurled But time slipped by, and cracks began to show, our bond Grew weaker with the seeds they'd sow Mom's whispers, her games, the lines she drew, pulled us Apart, I lost the you I knew Why did we let the shadows win? A bond once pure, now caged within I wish you'd see the love I hold, through anger, rage The stories untold We're more than the pain, more than the fight, I'll keep Reaching for your light After the divorce, the chaos began, you drifted further A life off-plan Hanging with shadows, breaking the rules, lost in the anger, a life of fools Your rage became fists, your words cut deep, and I'd hide My pain, in silence I'd weep I wanted to help, to pull you through, but every attempt You'd shut me out too Why did we let the shadows win? A bond once pure, now caged within I wish you'd see the love I hold, through anger, rage, the stories untold We're more than the pain, more than the fight, I'll keep Reaching for your light I'll keep reaching for your light I stayed quiet, it kept me safe, but silence built A hollow space I wanted to scream, to make you hear, that love Still lived beneath my fear You were my sister, my partners, my friend I never thought this is where we'd end But even in shadows, even in pain I'll hold out hope we'll find us again Why did we let the shadows win? A bond once pure, now caged within I wish you'd see the love I hold, through anger, rage, the stories untold We're more than the pain, more than the fight, I'll keep Reaching for your light Sister, I'll wait, I'll hold the door, for the bond We lost, for something more Through the silence, through the fight, I'll Keep searching for your light.
