In the quiet of the empty room,

I hear the echoes of your laugh,

Fading like whispers through a tomb,

A ghost of love we couldn’t grasp.

The air is heavy, laced with pain,

Each breath a weight I cannot bear.

Memories fall like winter rain,

Drenched in the loss of what was there.

Your touch, once warm, now feels like frost,

A chill that seeps beneath my skin.

A love so bright, but now it’s lost,

And darkness blooms where light had been.

I trace your name with trembling hand,

On frost-kissed glass, then watch it fade.

The dreams we built, a castle of sand,

Swept by the tide, alone I wade.

If hearts could mend like broken things,

Perhaps this ache would cease to be.

But love has clipped my fragile wings,

And left me chained to memories.

So here I stand, a shadow’s shell,

Bound to a love that couldn’t stay.

And though I break, I’ll never tell

How much I longed for you to stay.
