Trapped

In the shadows where we used to breathe,

Whispers echo softly, fraying at the seams.

You dance through my thoughts, a phantom in the light,

But I’m lost in the silence, drowning in the night.

Can you feel the weight of words unsaid,

As I trace my fingers, where your warmth once bled?

A flicker in the distance, a flame that flickers low,

You’re drifting like a memory, unmoored from all you know.

This love, a treasure forged in solitude,

Now echoes like a hollow tune,

I reach for you, a ghost of what we were,

But you fade like shadows, lost in a whispering blur.

I watched your laughter spill, like sunlight through the trees,

But the petals fell too quickly, caught in a gentle breeze.

I sought your heart's alignment, a rhythm to embrace,

But found the pulse of longing, a ghost in empty space.

Can you feel the tide of dreams turned pale,

As I drown in your silence, drowning in the veil?

Your eyes, a distant horizon, beyond my tethered hold,

This lonely requiem starts to unfold.

This love, a treasure forged in solitude,

Now echoes like a hollow tune,

I reach for you, a ghost of what we were,

But you fade like shadows, lost in a whispering blur.

So I’ll carve my sorrow in the fleeting night,

And let the stars remind me of our fractured light.

In the spaces between us, the truth rises and falls,

But I’ll haunt these memories as the silence calls.

Still, I linger in the reverie of us,

But you’re just a fleeting shadow, leaving only dust.

And as I turn to follow the echoes of your smile,

I realize I am standing here, alone, all the while.
