Shattered Echoes

Your name is a whisper, a dying breath, A fragile echo of what we once had in depth. Every moment without you, a weight I bear, A grief that's crushing, a sorrow beyond compare. In empty rooms, I hear your laughter's ring, A bittersweet reminder of what we once would sing. I reach for your hand, but find only pain, A longing that gnaws, a heart that's in vain. Oh, how I yearn for one more moment's peace, One more glance, one more whispered promise to release. But like autumn leaves, our love has fallen cold, And I'm left with tears, and a heart that's grown old. In darkness, I search for a glimmer of light, A beacon to guide me, through this endless night. But without you, everything feels like a shroud, A life without purpose, a heart that's been allowed to break.
