Yesterday's Shadows
As the sands of time
challenge love's reality,
it slips through your fingers.
Although Hope still conjures a smile,
recalling those magic moments
you've stored within your heart.
Love cannot bloom in yesterday's shadow;
shaded from tomorrow's dawning light.
And your heart grows numb
to the constant sting of lies
as you fall into depression's abyss:
struggling with emotions
of shame and self-worth.
With the bonds of trust severed:
you offer your wounded heart a placebo,
seeking solace within the world of dreams.
But fractured feelings haunt the graves of memories:
with both the sweet ecstasy of love
and the bitter dregs of betrayal.
