Existence in Shadows

Silent echoes in a hollow life,

Whispered memories, shadows of strife.

Walking through a world that’s lost its glow,

Fading dreams I used to know.

Heart heavy, yet I still believe,

In a love that I can weave.

Time slips by, unnoticed, unseen,

Familiar faces turn into screens.

But I hold onto what’s true—

The last of love I ever knew.

I no longer live, I exist...

In a shadowed, empty mist.

Carrying a flame so faint,

A hope that no one will taint.

I still feel, I still fight,

In this darkness, my light.

I no longer live, I exist...

Perhaps someday, I’ll persist.

Fifteen days, a lifetime apart,

Listen close, it's within my heart.

Love wasn’t just a fleeting wave,

It’s the soul I refuse to cave.

Though the world seems cold and wrong,

In my heart, I stay strong.

Living not just to survive,

But to love and truly thrive.
