Rebuilding from Ashes

Whispers in the dark, they haunt my soul,

A whisper of a love, once felt whole.

Why did I let you in? I swore I wouldn’t bend,

You masked your shadows with a smile, thought we’d never end.

Promises like petals, scattered in the night,

Now I'm lost in memories, seeking for the light.

But in your eyes, I saw a fire, a spark,

Thought you were the answer, but you left a mark.

Lured me in with soft words like a song,

Now I'm piecing back together all that feels so wrong.

Why would you play with my heart, then let it bleed?

Chasing the echoes of a love, I thought I’d freed.

Now I’m starting over, pain in every tear,

Rebuilding my life, as you disappear.

Thought the nightmare was over, but it’s just begun,

Caught in limbo, nowhere to run.

Your moment of weakness became my defeat,

Now I gather the pieces, while you’re on repeat.

You painted promises in colors so bright,

But shadows crept in, stealing the light.

Left me standing here with a heart full of scars,

Searching for solace, wishing on stars.

But I'm stronger than yesterday, forging my way,

Rising from ashes, I'll learn how to stay.

I won’t let your whispers pull me down again,

This is my chapter, and I’ll write the end.

Why would you play with my heart, then let it bleed?

Chasing the echoes of a love, I thought I’d freed.

Now I’m starting over, pain in every tear,

Rebuilding my life, as you disappear.

So here’s to the future, to lessons learned,

To standing tall, while the world has turned.

You thought you could break me, but I won’t fall,

I’m reclaiming my heart, I’ll rise above it all.
