A Fading Ember

A Fading Ember In shadows cast by waning light, A love once vivid, now takes flight. Our candle that once burned so bright, Now stings of a cold, harsh night. I see the distance in your eyes, Reflecting echoes of love's goodbye, Emptiness in your silent stare, A longing that lingers in the air. A love that danced has lost its grace, Fading memories, a bitter taste, Sarcasm drips from lips once sweet, A love turned sour, our hearts retreat. In the veins of passion, ice takes hold, Your touch, once warm, now a numbing cold, Isolation wraps around us tight, Loneliness now our silent plight. The flame that once danced, now just a wisp, A puff of smoke on a burnt-out wick. A love once radiant, turned to rust, In silent ruins, we return to dust.
