I loved you once, and now I burn,
Fading echoes the world won’t turn.
By the time I spoke, by the time I knew,
Her heart had settled where I could not pursue.
The moonlight weeps on empty sheets,
Yet still, I reach for your vacant form.
I clung to shadows, to whispers, to air,
While her eyes looked through me, empty and bare.
You're nowhere near, yet haunt me still,
Our love wrapped tight in a lifeless chill.
She waited, silent, until I’d see—
That what I held was a memory.
Beneath each sigh, beneath each breath,
Lies the ruin of what I built.
Every look was measured, each move precise,
A dance of betrayal, darkness, and ice.
She waited for slips, for stumbles, for falls,
And in each, I heard the end’s cold calls.
The bed lies cold, our warmth erased,
Your eyes a void, no warmth, no trace.
No mending, no mercy, no warmth to restore—
Just a hollowed-out love that's mine no more.
The fire is gone; there’s nothing kind—
For love is dead, and so am I.
