In the aftermath of love's decay
I'm left to gather shards of yesterday
Memories that once shone bright and true
Now refract into a thousand points of pain anew
A careless touch can shatter the calm
And send the pieces of my heart into alarm
The echoes of what was still linger on
A bittersweet reminder of love that's gone
In the silence, I hear the sound
Of fragments falling, like tears unbound
A heart that's broken, like the morning dew
A love that's lost, and all that's left to do
Is to sweep up the pieces, one by one
And hope that someday, the light will be won
A light that's fractured, but not yet gone
A love that's broken, but still lives on.

In the aftermath of love's decay
I'm left to gather shards of yesterday
Memories that once shone bright and true
Now refract into a thousand points of pain anew
A careless touch can shatter the calm
And send the pieces of my heart into alarm
The echoes of what was still linger on
A bittersweet reminder of love that's gone
In the silence, I hear the sound
Of fragments falling, like tears unbound
A heart that's broken, like the morning dew
A love that's lost, and all that's left to do
Is to sweep up the pieces, one by one
And hope that someday, the light will be won
A light that's fractured, but not yet gone
A love that's broken, but still lives on.
Special dedication to the 9th Jan😒
