My world was cracking just beneath the seam
A fragile truth unraveling its dream
I tried to hold it still—a silent scream
Lost somewhere in a half-remembered gleam
Then came your shadow falling over mine
A shelter cast in patterns so divine
It wrapped around the fear I can’t define
And steadied all the fractures in my spine
You didn’t push or try to chase the ache
You simply stayed in every afterquake
Your quiet love became the strongest stake
That held my ground when everything would shake
So stand with me when breaking starts again
When pressure rises louder than the wind
For in your shadow nothing has to spin—
And even shattered hearts can learn to mend
