The city sighs a muted tune tonight,

Each streetlight casts a lonely, hazy light.

A vacant space where laughter used to bloom,

Now shadows dance within this empty room.

We built a world on whispered promises,

Now echoes mock the silent emptiness.

Is love a fragile thing, a fleeting phase?

A cosmic joke within life's winding maze?

We search for meaning in the grand design,

But all we find is intricate intertwine, untwine.

The heart, a vessel, once overflowing,

Now cracks and leaks, its fragile essence showing.

A bittersweet acceptance starts to rise,

As understanding dawns within my eyes.

The universe expands, indifferent and vast,

Our little story fades, a page from the past.

Each tear a testament to something real,

A poignant truth, the wound will slowly heal.

Perhaps the pain is just the price to pay,

For soaring high on love's ethereal way.

A lesson learned within the somber night,

That darkness gives birth to a different kind of light

The heart, a vessel, once overflowing,

Now cracks and leaks, its fragile essence showing.

A bittersweet acceptance starts to rise,

As understanding dawns within my eyes.

The echoes fade, the silence starts to speak,

A quiet strength emerges, tenderly meek.
