i.
Dawn whispers through trees,
Silent vows between shadows,
Hope in each new leaf.
ii.
We met beneath a sky of endless blue,
Where sunlight wove a tapestry of gold.
Your voice, a melody both sweet and true,
Spoke secrets that my heart had never told.
In every glance, a promise of the night,
When stars would bear witness to our embrace.
Yet fear and doubt crept in with fading light,
Their shadows danced across your gentle face.
But love, as fragile as the morning dew,
Endures the winds that seek to tear apart.
For even when the storm clouds hide our view,
The sun returns to warm a waiting heart.
And so we danced, with time our fleeting guest,
Two souls entwined, in search of love's true rest.
iii.
In the quiet of the night, I hear you speak,
Your words, like arrows, pierce my wounded heart.
We stand on shifting ground, both strong and weak,
In every glance, a world that falls apart.
The echoes of our love, once bright and sleek,
Now tangled threads, a web we can't restart.
I wish that we could find a way to restart,
To mend the broken lines that make us speak.
But every time we try, we just grow weak,
And silence fills the spaces in my heart.
I watch the walls between us fall apart,
As every step we take seems worn and sleek.
The dreams we built together, smooth and sleek,
Now crumble as we struggle to restart.
Our voices tremble, and we fall apart,
The truth too sharp for either one to speak.
And yet, within the ruins of my heart,
I search for strength in places that feel weak.
But love is not a thing for those who're weak,
It carves its way through stones both rough and sleek.
It burns its brand on every willing heart,
And never asks for us to hit restart.
Yet here we are, too stubborn now to speak,
Our bond, a thread unravelling apart.
I wonder if we'll ever fall apart,
Or if we'll find the courage when we're weak,
To let the silence go, and truly speak.
To find a way that's neither rough nor sleek,
But honest, raw, a genuine restart,
That fills the empty chambers of the heart.
And so I stand, with hope still in my heart,
That even if we seem to fall apart,
We'll find a way, together, to restart,
To build a love that's neither strong nor weak,
But something true, not just a surface sleek,
A love that needs no words for us to speak.
iv.
I curse the path that led me to your door,
Each step a lie that I can’t erase.
In shadows, we uncovered something more—
A poison masked as love, now I deplore.
Your touch, once warm, has left a bitter trace.
I curse the path that led me to your door.
The promises you broke, the trust you tore,
Have hardened into scars I can’t embrace.
In shadows, we uncovered something more—
A hollow void where love can’t be restored,
A darkness where your memory takes place.
I curse the path that led me to your door.
You left me with the emptiness you bore,
A heart that only anger can replace.
In shadows, we uncovered something more—
A truth too sharp for time to smooth or score,
The bitter end of what we called our grace.
I curse the path that led me to your door.
In shadows, we uncovered something more.
v.
Stillness in our breath,
After storms, a tranquil sea,
Life's quiet harbour.
