Lost and Alone

Lost and Alone Lost and alone in this once happy home, Where love and laughter rang, now a silent tome. Our candle, an ardent fire that burned so bright, Now dimly flickers, in the cold, harsh night. I see the distance in your eyes, Reflecting the 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 leave a bitter taste, Sarcasm drips from lips once sweet, A love turned sour, our hearts retreat. In passion’s veins, ice takes hold, Your touch, once warm, now a numbing cold, Isolation wraps around us tight, Loneliness now our silent plight. Our former fervent flame, now a thin wisp, A puff of smoke on a burnt-out wick. Haunting memories of our love’s past, Our smoldering ember, reduced to ash. A sonorous knell echoes through this hollowed home, Eternally cursed to haunt these halls, lost and alone. -Edward
