Reflection of Pain

Memories of you haunt my soul
Desire and despair, a funeral pyre
Beneath the surface nothing but an empty promise
Blood stains the pages of what I hoped would be
A graveyard of memories, a love that daunts
Wrapped around my throat, the blood flows towards the ground
The chains of yearning tighten
In a whirlwind of chaos and pain

In hues of twilight, where shadows play
Everything lost in a dim haze
The touch of their hand, a distant sight
A longing so strong, yet so hard to see

The pain of loss, a tearful sting
All gone, and I am left to guess
In dreams, I see your smiling face
But when I wake, the pain takes its place
The ache of longing, the sting of shame
Leaving me lost, in a lonely place
There's nothing left for me here

In the silence of my final breath
I embrace the relief of eternal rest
No more echoes of desolation, no more pain
Now nothing but a lifeless vessel
