Echoes of the Past

Shadows creep, darkness falls Memories linger, haunting calls Painful whispers, echoes cold Forgotten scars, stories untold Ghosts of yesterday's despair Linger on, refusing to share The weight of what's been and gone A burden carried, never undone In dreams, they resurface still A bittersweet, relentless will To remind me of what's past A pain that will forever last But even darkness fades with time And light creeps in, like morning's prime The shadows recede, the heart heals slow And though memories remain, they lose their hold Shotha.N.munyai
