This evocative piece explores the delicate balance between memory and loss, illustrating the enduring presence of love amidst the shadows of separation.
In the quiet of a love once bright,
Now shadows cast by endless night,
They sit apart, yet side by side,
With memories of a distant tide.
Her eyes, a mirror of lost dreams,
Reflecting past in muted gleams,
His touch, a ghost of what once was,
A silent echo, paused because.
Words unsaid hang in the air,
Heavy hearts too much to bear,
Once a world of vivid hue,
Now faded gray, a lonely view.
Hands that once were intertwined,
Now lie apart, their fates resigned,
A story written with no end,
Two broken hearts that will not mend.
Time, the thief of all they knew,
Left them adrift in seas of blue,
No anchor left, no shore in sight,
Just endless days and sleepless nights.
Yet in the dark, a spark remains,
A hint of love amidst the pains,
For though the silence grows too loud,
Their hearts once soared, so strong and proud.
And in the stillness of the night,
They dream of days once bathed in light,
Two souls adrift, yet still they yearn,
For the love that once would brightly burn.
This poem captures the melancholy and the lingering pain of a love that has faded but is not forgotten.
