Loss

In shadows deep, a man once strong and whole, Lost his will to live, a sorrow-torn soul. A love, profound, slipped through his grasp, She sought another, a love that did clasp. In the echoes of silence, his heart did break, A love once vibrant, now drowned in heartache. She departed, seeking a brighter dawn, Leaving him behind, a love withdrawn. He felt insufficient, a shattered facade, His worth diminished, love's cruel charade. In the mirror's reflection, he saw the lack, A love abandoned, slipping through the crack. Yet, within the darkness, a glimmer remains, A chance to heal, release love's chains. For in loss, a rebirth may yet unfold, A tale of resilience, of stories untold.
