Fading Strings

I sing your name in every note

A melody that won't let go

But every bow pulls a little more

Till silence claims what we once wrote

Torn between the sound and the space

In the quiet, I find my grace

Though my heart still plays your song

I know it’s time to move along

These strings are fading, breaking free

Still love you, but you’re not with me

Letting go through every strain

Holding on to love and pain

Echoes of us in every chord

A story whispered, never ignored

The music lingers, bittersweet

In every rest, our souls still meet

If I could hold you in this sound

I'd play forever, never unwound

But some songs must end, somehow

I bow, I break, I take my bow

Fading strings in empty halls

Love’s last echo softly calls
