Echoes of Unheard Love

The clock is ticking, days turning to years,

Promises made through laughter and tears.

But in this love, there's a shadow that grows,

Lately, it feels like you're keeping your door closed.

Eight years in, we built a fine life,

But lately it feels like I'm losing my wife.

I give you the world, the best of my days,

But every gesture brings a different phase.

You chase the clouds while I'm counting the stars,

Yet every moment feels like we're drifting afar.

You say I'm the anchor, but I'm feeling adrift,

I hold out my heart, but it's suffering a rift.

You take all I offer, still ask for more,

Tell me, my love, have you locked every door?

And you say, "You’ve done nothing at all,"

While I'm fighting through battles, trying not to fall.

You wear your crown of thorns, but it cuts so deep,

In this love, my dear, why can't we keep?

The fire we started, so vibrant, so bright,

Now it flickers in darkness, I long for the light.

You’ve found a job and declare that you shine,

Yet in your victories, I feel the decline.

You’re climbing the ladder, I'm stuck in a hole,

Where's the love that we've built start to take its toll?

Celebrating your wins, but tunnel vision's tight,

I’m fading away, you’re a star in the night.

I’ve held up my hands, come, take my heart,

But every embrace seems to tear us apart.

Do you even see me, in the shadows I stand,

Or am I just a ghost in your master plan?

And you say, "You’ve done nothing at all,"

While I'm fighting through battles, trying not to fall.

You wear your crown of thorns, but it cuts so deep,

In this love, my dear, why can't we keep?

The fire we started, so vibrant, so bright,

Now it flickers in darkness, I long for the light.

I’m screaming in silence, unheard in these walls,

This isn't the dream that we’ve built through it all.

Your heart’s on the edge, are we meant to survive?

Or are we just holding, pretending we're alive?

Eight years later, where did we go wrong?

A love that was sacred now feels so withdrawn.

I’ll keep holding on, but this weight's so divine,

In the echo of love, will you still call me mine?
