“Shattered Reflections” is a testament to the enduring power of heartbreak, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Once, mirrors of our souls, we faced as one,
Reflecting passions in a shared embrace.
Now, fractured shards where sunlight cannot run,
I wander lost in solitude’s cold space.
A withered garden where our love once grew,
Tendrils of hope now tangled, dry and dead.
Silent echoes of laughter, soft and true,
Haunted whispers where joy once sweetly bred.
Like ships adrift on an tempestuous sea,
We parted ways, our destinies unknown.
The salty kiss of sorrow washed over me,
As loneliness carved a heart of living stone.
A phantom warmth lingers, a ghostly trace,
Of hands entwined and soul-deep, sweet embrace.
But shadows creep, obscuring every place,
Leaving me adrift in time’s relentless chase.
Yet, dawn will break, and skies will turn to gold,
A promise of new days, a hopeful start.
With courage as my shield, and spirit bold,
I’ll rise from shadows, reclaim my heart.
