Chereads / Lovesick Fool / Chapter 16 - Wandering Heart

Chapter 16 - Wandering Heart

In the quiet of the night, I lie awake,

Haunted by the trust that's gone astray,

Once a fortress built of soft promises,

Now crumbled walls where shadows play.

-

I search your eyes for echoes of the past,

But find only a distant, weary stare,

The warmth that once ignited hope in me

Now flickers out, a ghost of what was there.

-

Each whisper now a ghostly, hollow sound,

Each touch a ghost of what was once so real,

I wonder if our love will fade away,

Or if a heart once true will ever heal.

-

Could there be a love that mends these scars,

A light to guide me through the darkened haze?

Or will I wander through the silent void,

A soul adrift in trust's forsaken maze?

-

Will another's eyes find my weary heart,

And breathe new life into its fragile beat?

Or will I learn to love again alone,

To find a peace in solitude's retreat?

-

The future's fog obscures the path I seek,

But in the mist, a hopeful heart still dares,

To dream of love that's steadfast and sincere,

A promise that in time, my soul repairs.

-

So here I stand, with trust a fragile thread,

Yet in this twilight, dreams refuse to rest,

I hope that love might dance into my life,

A whimsical chance that fate will bless.

-

For even in the doubt, a spark remains,

A playful wish that love will find its way,

In the dance of chance, perhaps a heart will glow,

And light the path to brighter, warmer days.
