I used to know the rhythm of your voice,
A gentle hum that anchored me to peace,
But now it's just a sound that fills the noise,
A melody that's lost its sweet release.
-
The morning sun that once would warm my heart,
Now fades behind a heavy, distant haze.
I feel us slipping quietly apart,
A love once bright, now lost in muted grays.
-
Your touch was once a fire on my skin,
But now it's just a weight I cannot bear,
I search for sparks that never light within,
And trace the emptiness that lingers there.
-
The words we used to speak now hang like dust,
Too heavy for our tired tongues to hold,
I watch us turn to strangers built on trust,
Our stories fading, once so brave and bold.
-
I do not hate, I do not even ache,
It's softer than the pain of bitter ends,
A slow, familiar silence we can't break,
Two souls adrift, no longer more than friends.
-
So here we stand, not broken but undone,
With gentle smiles that whisper of our fall,
We part beneath a slowly setting sun,
Two lovers lost to time's unspoken call.
