Forever ache

A scent, a whisper, a memory's sting Unleashes sorrow, my heart's wings Aching, ripping, tearing apart Longing for solace, a gentle start Tired of the same, the pain, the strife Yearning for sunshine, a cloudless life Clear skies, warm breeze, a peaceful sight But lies and deceit, a constant fight Your eyes, a window, a glimpse of the truth But veiled in falsehood, a disguise of youth Too much on my mind, a burden to bear Seeking answers, a respite from the snare The past haunts me, a relentless ghost A constant reminder, a heart forever lost I'm trapped in this darkness, unable to escape A prisoner of pain, a soul forever ache
