A trembling flame fights against the night,
A fading star, lost to its own light.
The echoes linger where silence grows,
A tethered heart where the cold wind blows.
I knew the thread would fray and tear,
But held the shadow, unaware.
Each step we carved, now left behind,
Marks of a storm that time won’t rewind.
Why did the branches break so soon?
Why did I chase a fleeting tune?
The words I swallowed, heavy with stone,
Now haunt the places I stand alone.
Is love a river that flows one way?
I poured it all, yet it slipped away.
Is love a mirror that won’t reflect?
A fragile bond I couldn’t protect.
A restless tide pulls the shore apart,
Its quiet rage mirrors my own heart.
The weight of choices I can't unmake,
A fragile glass too sharp to break.
Each word I silenced, now echoes wide,
A fleeting truth I tried to hide.
The cost of holding and letting go
Two aching paths I’ll never know.
Is love a river that flows one way?
I poured it all, yet it slipped away.
Is love a mirror that won’t reflect?
A fragile bond I couldn’t protect.
Did I cast the shadow that lingered here?
Was I the storm he learned to fear?
The past won’t answer, its voice is gone,
But questions linger, on and on.
Is love a current too strong to hold?
A fleeting warmth that turns to cold.
Is love a mirror that bends and breaks?
A fragile vow the heart forsakes.
Is love a river that flows one way?
I poured it all, yet it slipped away.
Is love a mirror that won’t reflect?
A fragile bond I couldn’t protect.
Is love a current too strong to hold?
A fleeting warmth that turns to cold.
Is love a mirror that bends and breaks?
A fragile vow the heart forsakes.
