In the silent abyss of despair, I find myself alone

In the silent abyss of despair, I find myself alone, Trapped in a numb pain, like a stone once used as a shield. Promises of love and time, now just echoes lost in the wind, I wrestle among the ruins of dreams, with a love that is no longer holy to me. Your words, once sweetly honeyed, have turned to dust in the wilderness, A love that withers away, leaves behind an incomprehensible void, an overdue emptiness. You say "I like you", not "I love you", there's a clear difference, But your absence echoes louder than any word, it's the most bitter fear. In the darkest of hours, grieving the disappearance of what once was love, The love that once glittered, now cloaked in a mystery without purpose. It's a cruel affliction, a battle that gives me no rest, I watch our love unravel, my heart tears apart, my life becomes a pretense. This heartache, an eternal and ruthless burning, Once flourishing love, now drowns in a torrent of tears, a sharp fate. Deep in my soul, I sigh and cry in silence, For a lost love, for vows you didn't honor, for an ephemeral memory. But if you can't love me, let me free myself, To heal my shattered heart, to find myself again, far from any regal pain. In the depth of this anguish, I will find the path to light, If true love is to survive, it will return to me one day, like a divine destiny.
