Moonlight painted a teardrop sheen,
Her laughter, a melody, bittersweet, I glean.
Words unspoken, a future unseen,
A chasm grew wide, where dreams had been.

Stars, once our compass, lost their light,
Promises whispered, dissolved in the night.
A hand slipped away, with a final sigh,
Tears fell like rain, beneath a cold, empty sky.

The night I could not keep her, a memory untold,
A love that escaped, leaving a heart to grow cold.
