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.
