LOVE OVERSHADOWED BY PAIN

Love's warm embers, once aglow,

Now smoldering beneath the weight of pain and wrought.

Dreams deferred, whispers unspoken low,

Partners turned foes, in silence, love's lost.

Shadows of what was, haunt the night,

Echoes of laughter, now a distant fight.

Promises broken, like autumn leaves,

Love's once-open path, now choked with weeds.

In empty halls, memories linger on,

A love that's lost, yet still, a bond remains, though frown.

What went unsaid, now forever lost,

In the silence, love's whispered 'what if...?'

Time moves on, but hearts stay still,

Trapped in the past, where love's thread did unravel.

The future they planned, now a stranger's tale,

In the mirror's gaze, a shadow of love fails.

Once intertwined, now separate ways,

Lost in the gap, where 'we' became 'I' and 'you' stays.

Faded photos, a bittersweet reminder,

Of vows exchanged, and love that grew dimmer.

The language of touch, now foreign and cold,

In the space between, love's embers grow old.

In the hollow of a heart, a space remains,

Where love once lived, now only sorrow reigns.

And though it's over, the ghost remains,

A bittersweet reminder of love's fragile chains.

In forgotten closets, dreams collect dust,

Hopes and promises, turned to rust.

The echoes of what could've been,

Haunt the corridors, where love once had a den.

And in the stillness, a question lingers on,

'What went wrong, and where did love go wrong?'

The answer lost, in the noise of pain,

Leaving only sorrow, and a love in vain.

In the end, all that's left is a sigh,

A whispered goodbye, to a love that's died.

The rest is silence, a quiet night,

Where love's last whisper, fades into the lights.
