Fragments of Yesterday

In the dawn of a dream, we were young and alive,

Laughter filled the air, together we would thrive.

But shadows darkened the smile, time’s cruel embrace,

A love that bloomed so bright, now lost without a trace.

We danced through the seasons, hand in hand with glee,

Two hearts intertwined, so wild and so free.

But fate had a whisper, a storm in disguise,

You left on a night when the stars filled the skies.

Oh, where did you go, my love, my light?

Now the silence is heavy, and the days turn to night.

Our children weep softly, lost in the fight,

As I drown in the shadows, chasing memories bright.

The bottle called my name, a friend turned to foe,

Each sip drowned the laughter, but I just couldn’t know.

The warmth of their smiles faded deep in the dark,

While innocence shattered like glass in the park.

And though they tried to reach me, I turned them away,

Building up walls that they couldn’t betray.

One silent goodbye whispered through the air,

The moment I lost them, my soul left bare.

Oh, where did you go, my love, my light?

Now the silence is heavy, and the days turn to night.

Our children weep softly, lost in the fight,

As I drown in the shadows, chasing memories bright.

Years rolled like thunder, and the distance grew wide,

But they held on to hope, though their hearts were denied.

With courage, they ventured to find what was torn,

To bring back their daddy, to mend what was worn.

Now I see their faces, grown up and unsure,

The love in their eyes still a beacon, a cure.

With trembling hands, I reach towards the past,

Can love be rekindled, can this moment last?

Oh, where did you go, my love, my light?

With the sight of my children, I feel hope ignite.

No longer alone, we’ll stand side by side,

Facing our battles, as love is our guide.

In the dawn of this dream, we’re rebuilding anew,

With laughter and tears, we'll make it through.

Together in shadows, we'll find our way back,

For love never falters, it’s here—not in lack.
