Echoes of Goodbye

We danced on the edge of a fragile dream,

Two souls intertwined in a delicate seam.

I held on tight as the flames crept near,

Ignoring the whispers of doubt and fear.

Our laughter once rang in endless nights,

Now silence fills the void, no more fights.

I watched the embers of us slowly fade,

As the warmth of love turned to a cold shade.

The bridge we built with hopes so high,

Burned to the ground, beneath a tear-streaked sky.

Each step we took, now lost to the fire,

Leaving only echoes of our lost desire.

I stayed too long, in the glow of pain,

Let the fire sear every vein.

But when I let go, the flames set me free,

And in the ashes, I found the real me.

No more smoke to cloud my view,

No more dreams that won’t come true.

The air is crisp, the sky so wide,

And I walk alone, with nothing to hide.

Burnt bridges, yes, but no regrets,

For in the ruin, my spirit resets.

In the end, it’s the clean, fresh air,

That taught me how to truly care.
