Memory of Love


In shadows deep  where silence grows  
A heart once bright now only knows  
The weight of love that slipped away  
In quiet nights  I long and sway. 
 
 
Each memory like a whispered sigh  
Reminds me of the days gone by  
When laughter danced in morning light  
Now echoes fade  lost to the night. 
 
 
I search for warmth in empty spaces  
But find instead the cold embraces  
Of loneliness  my only friend  
A bitter truth that won’t soon end. 
 
 
The ache of love is sharp and clear  
It cuts so deep  it brings the tears  
A longing for a hand to hold  
In dreams of warmth  my heart feels cold. 
 
 
Yet still I hope  though shadows loom  
That one day light will chase the gloom  
For in this heart  a spark remains  
A wish for love to heal these pains.
