Silent Cries

Echoes of an Empty Room

In the hollow chambers of my mind, Echoes of whispers, once so kind, Now linger like a fading song, In the silence where you belong.

The walls, they hum with memories faint, Each corner painted with your saint, A fleeting touch, a soft caress, Now shadows in this emptiness.

Your laughter dances in the air, A ghostly waltz, a silent prayer, And I, the mourner of your grace, Stand alone in this haunted place.

Tears of the Moon

Beneath the night's velvet embrace, The moon weeps tears, a silver lace, Her sorrow drips into the sea, Reflecting all the pain in me.

Each star a beacon of regret, In constellations we once met, Their light, a cruel and distant gleam, Reminds me of a shattered dream.

The tides, they whisper tales of woe, Of love that ebbed, and hearts that know, The agony of letting go, And drowning in the undertow.

The Weight of Farewell

A single word, a final breath, The whisper of impending death, Farewell, the burden hard to bear, A silent cry, a silent prayer.

The weight of sorrow, heavy, cold, In shattered fragments, stories told, Of what was lost, and never found, Of broken hearts and silent sound.

Yet in this void, a fragile spark, A memory that lights the dark, A love that lingers, ghostly pale, A tale of sorrow’s endless tale.

Fading Photographs

In sepia tones, our smiles reside, In photographs where time has died, Each frame a moment trapped in glass, Of days that slipped into the past.

Your eyes, they shine with joy and light, A beacon in the endless night, But now they stare from paper thin, A visage of the might-have-been.

I hold these relics to my chest, Where once your heart found peaceful rest, And through the tears, I see you there, A phantom in my heart’s despair.

Songs of Solitude

In the quiet of the night, I hear, The songs of solitude, crystal clear, They sing of love that turned to dust, Of broken dreams and shattered trust.

Their melodies, a somber tune, Beneath the weeping of the moon, A symphony of silent cries, Of love that lives, yet slowly dies.

And I, a captive to their song, Must bear the weight of sorrow’s throng, Until the dawn breaks through the gloom, And silence fills the empty room.

A Heart's Lament

In the garden of my heart, you bloomed, A rose of red in twilight’s loom, But now your petals fall like rain, Each one a tear, each one a pain.

The thorns remain, a cruel sting, A reminder of the love you bring, And I, the keeper of the past, Must tend this garden to the last.

For in this place, where shadows lie, Your memory will never die, And though the night is cold and vast, Your love’s lament will always last.

The Final Embrace

In the twilight of our days, I find comfort in your gaze, Though you are gone, your spirit stays, A silent guide through sorrow’s maze.

The final embrace, a bittersweet end, A moment where our souls transcend, And though we part, we’ll meet again, In dreams where love will never end.

For in the depths of heart’s despair, There lies a hope beyond compare, A whispered promise, soft and true, That I will find my way to you.
