**Lost in Time**

In the echoes of forgotten days,

Memories drift like autumn leaves,

Fading colors, once so bright,

Now softened by the hands of time.

A clock ticks in the quiet room,

Each second a step farther away,

From moments cherished, loved, and lived,

Now distant as a childhood dream.

Faces blur, voices dim,

Yet their warmth lingers, bittersweet,

In the heart’s deep chamber, locked away,

Lost in time’s relentless sweep.

The past, a river ever flowing,

Carries fragments of what once was,

Ghosts of yesterday, lost in time's pause.
