Chereads / Lovesick Fool / Chapter 15 - Fading Love

Chapter 15 - Fading Love

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.
