Shattered Love

by BermyBye50

 

In whispered dreams, we wove our hopes so bright,

Yet shadows danced where once the light did gleam.

With every kiss, we felt our hearts take flight,

But our love fractured like a shattered dream.

******************

The laughter faded, replaced by silent sighs,

Once sweet, our love now crumbles into dust,

With every tear, a piece of us still lies,

In echoes of a bond broken by distrust.

******************

The bitter taste of silence fills the air,

Where once we laughed, now emptiness remains.

Our hearts, once fierce, now frayed beyond repair,

Bound only by the weight of loss and pain.

******************

The smiles we shared faded and turned to stone.

Beneath the weight of lies and broken trust.

I stand, forsaken, in the dark, alone,

Our marriage unraveled, consumed by lust.

******************

Yet still I search for light where darkness dwells,

In love’s sweet ache, my heart remembers well.

Through barren lands where silence fills the air,

I wander lost, yet hope still lingers there.
