A Fallen Love

In the stillness of a fading room, Where love once bloomed, now whispers loom, A hand that once was soft with care, Now trembles in the midnight air. The walls have heard the quiet cries, The heavy steps, the hollow sighs, Where promises once brightly glowed, Now fade like leaves in winds that blow. A heart too broken, a mind too torn, The threads of peace so frayed, so worn, A tangled love, too frail to mend, The bitter start, the brutal end. In silence, shadows twist and twine, What was once love, now crossed a line. The final breath, the closing door, A life lost more than ever before. The earth will claim what once was bright, But who shall bear the endless night? In one cruel act, both fall, entwined, A fractured soul, a shattered mind.
