A dusty path through barren land,
A heart adrift, a lover’s hand,
Yearning for touch on a distant shore,
A father’s regret, a wound that’s raw.

Her eyes, like wells, brimmed with sorrow,
Piercing the haze, seeking tomorrow,
Longing for home, a comforting nest,
A mother’s embrace, a lullaby’s rest.

Bangles’ gentle chime, a melody gone,
Sisterhood’s laughter, a faded song,
Slipped through her grasp like sand in the tide,
Memories shimmer, a dream that died.

A bride she stands, a porcelain doll,
Dressed in finery, yet feeling small,
Lost in a crowd, a nameless face,
A stranger to herself in this lonely space.

Strangers surround, a concrete maze,
A ship without a rudder in foreign days,
The comfort of home, a distant firefly,
Aching for solace beneath a tearful sky.

This melody, a mournful dove’s call,
A daughter’s sorrow, a teardrop’s fall,
A father’s remorse, a heavy stone,
A woman adrift, forever alone.

Dreams turn to dust beneath a scorching sun,
A love story shattered, a race not won,
The essence of loss in a haunting refrain,
A wilted rose where love used to reign.

Through moonlit streets, her footsteps roam,
A weary traveler far from home,
The song of her sorrow, a mournful sigh,
“Why did you leave me beneath a foreign sky?”

Promises whispered like shattered glass,
Love’s fleeting embers lost in the grass,
The weight of her grief with each step she takes,
“Why did you leave me for my own heart’s sake?”

In the quiet night, her name takes flight,
Yearning for love, a fading light,
Echoes of heartbreak lost in the breeze,
“Why did you leave me on bended knees?”

With every tear, a river of pain,
Your absence, a storm, a relentless rain,
The melody lingers, a haunting plea,
“Why did you leave me to set my heart free?”

This love unspoken, a heavy weight,
Aching for solace before it’s too late,
The song of separation, a whispered plea,
“Why did you leave me and set my spirit free?”
