Shadows of What Once Was

Silent echoes in the night,

Whispers of a love that burned so bright.

But now the shadows creep in,

Memories of you, where do I begin?

We danced through the fire, under the stars,

Your laugh was my guide, took me so far.

But like a fleeting dream, you slipped away,

Left me standing, lost in yesterday.

Who would’ve thought, the grief would flow

Like rivers deep, with no place to go?

I learned what love was, in your gentle embrace,

Now all that’s left, is this empty space.

Grieving was easy, oh, it felt so sweet,

But the darkness that follows, it’s a cold defeat.

Depression wraps around, like a chain too tight,

In the silence I scream, searching for the light.

I walk through the days, with a heart full of ache,

Every shadow whispers, it’s hard to shake.

The ghost of your smile, keeps haunting my nights,

Holding on to the pain, as it tightly bites.

Who would’ve thought, the night would descend,

With every fleeting memory, it feels like the end.

You showed me the beauty, but now there’s a chill,

In the depths of my sorrow, I’m trapped against will.

Grieving was easy, oh, it felt so sweet,

But the darkness that follows, it’s a cold defeat.

Depression wraps around, like a chain too tight,

In the silence I scream, searching for the light.

Time’s supposed to heal, they say it’s a lie,

Every tick of the clock, just reminds me why.

I took care of love, and it slipped through my hands,

Now I’m left with shadows, and unbroken plans.

So here in this sorrow, I’ll learn to stand tall,

Even through the tears, I’ll rise from the fall.

You showed me what love was, I won’t forget,

In the depths of my heart, I’ll carry no regret.
