Whispers of an echo

In the quiet depths of twilight’s breath, Where shadows dance with light’s last sigh, I wander lost, where love once thrived, Now buried deep, where echoes lie.Our laughter once rang clear and bright, Now silence wraps where whispers played. In every room, in every night, Your absence leaves a cold cascade.Your touch, a ghost upon my skin, A phantom kiss that haunts my dreams. I reach for you in sleep’s soft spin, But grasping air, my heart still screams.The stars that bore our secret names Now flicker faint in distant skies. Their glow, a memory that fades, A silent tear in moonlit eyes.Where once was love, now sorrow grows, A garden wild with thorn and rue. Each petal falls like silent prose, A testament to all I knew.And though the days move on and on, Their passing mocks this aching void. For in my soul, you’re never gone, Your memory, my heart’s decoy.So here I stand, where dreams decay, Among the ruins of what was. A lover lost, a heart in fray, Eternal grief, because, because.
