Fragments of Love

Shattered Echoes

Fragments of Love

In the caverns of a shattered heart,

Where whispers of love now depart,

Echoes of laughter once danced free,

Now drowned in tears, a silent plea.

Each beat aches with the weight of loss,

Memories like thorns, a cruel toss,

Of dreams now fractured, scattered wide,

In the wreckage of love's cruel tide.

The empty space, a void profound,

Where once a symphony did resound,

Now silence reigns, a bitter sting,

As fragments of love lie withering.

Yet amidst the ruins, a flicker remains,

A glimmer of hope in the endless pains,

For hearts may break, but they also heal,

And from the ashes, new dreams reveal.

So let the tears fall, let the pain be told,

For in the depths, new strength unfolds,

And though love's journey may seem bleak,

In brokenness, beauty dares to speak.
