October's Echo

Breathing in the hollow, haunted by my own shadow

Echoes of a past I sorrow, wandering through the narrow

Once I held a beating heart, now only breath, a fleeting part

God's design, a fragile art, survival's pain, a broken start

Love slipped through my trembling hands, greed part of my command

Full of empty plans, trying to understand where I stand

Don’t be like me, trapped in misery's disguise

Lost in the echoes of your own lies

Yearning for a love you let drift away

Hold on tight, don’t let it decay

A chance that I discarded, for wealth I hoarded, now departed

Fertile dreams, half-started, left me empty-hearted

My own enemy, in chains of my despair

Reflections stare, a life unfair, caught unaware

Don’t be like me, trapped in misery's disguise

Lost in the echoes of your own lies

Yearning for a love you let drift away

Hold on tight, don’t let it decay

Memories of innocence, a fleeting glimpse of bliss

October’s ghosts whispering, I can't dismiss

Failure's haunting kiss, a bitter reminisce

Seeking mercy’s kiss, amidst the abyss

Live not in regret, find a dawn to reset

Hope’s silhouette, a safer bet, don’t forget

Be better than me, for love's the key, just believe
