When shadows fall

The night consumed us, heavy and thick.

Silence followed, time moved like a brick.

Every glance a tear, truth overflowed.

We danced on the edge of a love turned to ash.

Moments once golden now break with a crash.

Shadows hung heavy, hearts could not endure.

Every word unspoken, a wound that won't cure.

Days stretched like hunger, nights swallowed whole.

Taste of remembrance, bitter control.

We built our fortress, but walls cracked in fear.

A love that once soared now feels unclear.

Loneliness drapes like a shroud on my skin.

Corners of the room soaked in where we've been.

Tears blur echoes of laughter we shared,

With every breath taken, silence laid bare.

Still I remember the spark that once lit

The fire in your eyes, the warmth where we fit.

Now embers smolder deep in regret,

A love that’s a phantom, a haunting duet.

Here in the dark, where sorrow holds tight,

We bury our hopes, watching memories take flight.

No more whispers of promise, warmth left to find;

Just the ghost of our love in the depths of the mind.

In quiet stillness, where shadows conspire,

I trace fading outlines of lost desire.

For love that was fierce, a raging bright flame

Now flickers and dims, we drift feeling shame.

Beneath all the sorrow, I still feel the ache,

Resonant echoes of bonds that might break.

In the depths of my heart, I stand all alone,

Wishing for solace, for the love we once owned.
