Empty promises
Your whispers still linger, a haunting melody,
Echoes of forever, now reduced to memory.
You vowed to stay, to love, to cherish and hold,
But like autumn leaves, your promises withered, leaving me cold.
Last night, I held our picture, a bittersweet refrain,
Tears fell like rain, as I whispered your name in vain.
The truth, a bitter pill, hard to swallow and accept,
You're really gone, and I'm left with this hollow neglect.
Depression crept in, a thief in the night,
Stealing my joy, my peace, my light.
I sit beneath the stars, counting the endless sky,
Wondering why you left, and why you said goodbye.
You chose your happiness, and I couldn't be enough,
Every day, I'm reminded of the love that's lost its stuff.
I'm left with shadows, echoes of what we used to be,
A love that's gone, a memory that refuses to flee.
I look through the window, expecting to see your face,
But it's just a reflection, a cruel, heartless space.
If only time would bend, and we could start anew,
But alas, it's just a dream, and I'm left to grieve for you.
Empty promises, a heartbreaking refrain,
A love that's lost, a memory that remains.
Every day, I say goodbye, and every night, I cry,
Longing for your touch, your love, your gentle sigh.
