The Ending

By Karl JacksonPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In shadows cast by whispered dreams we shared,

Our laughter lingered, but now it feels so bare.

A blossom grew where trust once bloomed so bright,

Yet in that fragile seed, our love took flight.

Your eyes once held the warmth of morning’s glow,

But now they speak of paths where sorrow flows.

The bond we forged was severed, sharp and stark,

For love expired in silence, in the dark.

In whispers soft, our dreams took flight,

But shadows grew, eclipsing light.

A promise broken in silence deep,

Your tender love no longer mine to keep.

Another's seed within you bloomed,

Our once bright path now darkly loomed.

The echoes of us fade into the night,

Love’s fragile thread unravels from its height.
