Seeking the Lost Embrace

In the depths of my soul, a void resides,

Where once emotions bloomed, now darkness hides.

Life's turbulent storms have battered my core,

Leaving me numb, unable to feel anymore.

I've traversed treacherous paths and faced the abyss,

Where shadows whispered tales of sorrow's kiss.

Each trial and torment etched upon my heart,

Now a shield against joy, tearing me apart.

I yearn to grasp fragments of laughter and delight,

But they slip through my fingers, evading my sight.

Like a fragile bird, my spirit longs to soar,

Yet the weight of my past keeps it grounded, forevermore.

How I've tried to resurrect the flames within,

To let warmth and passion kindle and begin.

But scars run deep, like rivers carved in stone,

And the echoes of pain drown out emotions known.

Oh, how I envy those who dance in life's embrace,

Their hearts ablaze, untouched by my somber space.

But I remain here, a silent silhouette,

Bearing the marks of a life I can't forget.

Yet still, a flicker glimmers, a tiny spark,

A hope that whispers, breaking through the dark.

Though dulled, my spirit persists, refusing to yield,

Hoping one day, my heart will again be revealed.

So I'll carry on, though the ache persists,

Seeking solace in words, as my pen insists.

For in the depths of my verses, I find release,

Where emotions may dwell, offering me peace.

In this journey of healing, I strive to reclaim,

The ability to feel, to rise above pain.

Though life has wounded me, I'll rise anew,

With every word I write, I'll rediscover what is true.
