Cracked reflection in the glass,

Empty eyes, a hollow shell,

Haunted by the shadows cast,

Of a love that couldn't dwell.



Whispers echo in the night,

Always held tight but never dared to take flight,

The melody buzzed, just out of sight.

Scars that etch a painful lore,

A gentle release, a whisper unknown,

The sky fades soft, leaving me on my own.
