The city sighs a muted tune tonight, Each streetlight casts a lonely, hazy light. A vacant space where laughter used to bloom, Now shadows dance within this empty room. We built a world on whispered promises, Now echoes mock the silent emptiness. Is love a fragile thing, a fleeting phase? A cosmic joke within life's winding maze? We search for meaning in the grand design, But all we find is intricate intertwine, untwine. The heart, a vessel, once overflowing, Now cracks and leaks, its fragile essence showing. A bittersweet acceptance starts to rise, As understanding dawns within my eyes. The universe expands, indifferent and vast, Our little story fades, a page from the past. Each tear a testament to something real, A poignant truth, the wound will slowly heal. Perhaps the pain is just the price to pay, For soaring high on love's ethereal way. A lesson learned within the somber night, That darkness gives birth to a different kind of light The heart, a vessel, once overflowing, Now cracks and leaks, its fragile essence showing. A bittersweet acceptance starts to rise, As understanding dawns within my eyes. The echoes fade, the silence starts to speak, A quiet strength emerges, tenderly meek.
