Painful memories linger still
Tears fall like the evening chill
Heart once full, now empty space
Longing for your loving face
Shadows of what could have been
Echoes of our love’s sweet sin
Fading fast, like autumn’s gleam
Leaving me with tears to glean
Love’s flame that once burned bright
Flickers out, without a light
Whispers of your gentle name
Haunting me, a bittersweet game
Time will heal this broken heart
Slowly mend the tears apart
Learning to love again I start
Free from the chains of what we were
