In shadows deep, I stand alone,
A life now lost, a heart of stone.
Time’s speeding dance, it marched ahead,
Yet peace with you, I never fed.
Your absence haunts each silent night,
A call into the fading light.
Regrets like echoes, they still persist,
Like endless tasks on a forgotten list
The years rolled by like grains of sand,
Slipped through my grasp, my dreams unplanned.
I ache to grasp what’s now too late,
To make the dreams alive, life purest fate.
The sunsets we never got to share,
Our laughter lost in the empty air.
Questions echo, no answers found,
Why didn’t I break the walls so love could rebound?
Grief’s heavy cloak, it weighs me down,
A darkened river that knows no town.
If only time reversed its flow,
To find the words, let healing grow.
But here I stand, in this regret,
A tapestry of what’s not set
A chance taken, a song unsung,
Why didn’t I find where I went wrong?
The lesson is harsh, it carves its mark,
To seize the chances, ignite the spark.
In living souls, I let peace reside,
Don’t wait till death’s relentless tide.
