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.

A single nail, a fatal strike
The coffin creaks, the lid goes tight
A seal of fate, a destiny complete
The end of hope, the final defeat

The hammer falls, the sound echoes through
A death knell tolls, a dream dies anew
The weight of failure, the sting of pain
A heart once full, now empty, in vain

The nails of doubt, they pierced the heart
The nails of fear, they tore the soul apart
The nails of regret, they hammered home
The final blow, the last goodbye, alone....

Fall like the night
A secret sorrow, a hidden plight
They well up deep, a heavy sea
A grief that's borne, alone and free

No words are spoken, no sound is made
The heart is heavy, the soul is frayed
The tears fall slow, like autumn rain
A quiet mourning, a silent pain

In the stillness, they're shed and gone
Leaving behind a heart that's strong
For in the silence, a voice is found
A whisper of hope, a heart unbound.
