I left a life, a love so pure,
For promises you made, I was sure.
But now I stand here, empty inside,
Chasing shadows where you used to hide.

I gave you my heart, and watched it fall,
As you walked away without a call.
I’m haunted by the words you said,
And now those dreams are cold and dead.

You whispered love, but it turned to dust,
Broke my spirit, shattered my trust.
I thought you’d stay, that you’d be true,
But you disappeared like morning dew.

How could you ask, then let me go?
You stole the sun, left me in snow.
Now I’m picking pieces of what’s left of me,
From the ruins of what we’ll never be

I tore my life apart for you, thread by fragile thread,
Chose your heartbeat over everything I knew,
But now your silence hums where love once bled,
And I wonder if you ever felt it too.

I burned bridges, turned my back on what was safe,
Thinking your arms would catch me as I fell.
But you watched me collapse, slipping away,
Leaving only the echoes of promises to dwell.

You took my devotion, held it close, then coldly let it slip,
Like a secret you were never meant to keep.
Now I scream in rooms where your name once lived,
But all I hear is the quiet, so vast, so deep.

I gave you everything—the parts of me I’d never shown,
Ripped my heart from the roots to lay at your feet.
But you vanished, left me wandering alone,
In a love that never took form, incomplete.

I wonder if I was just a passing breeze,
A fleeting distraction for a moment’s thrill.
While I drowned in you, you watched me freeze,
And now I’m left with a void nothing can fill.

I was real, and you were a dream,
But dreams fade, and hearts, they scream.
And in this hollow where love once bloomed,
I bury the pieces of us in the quiet gloom.

I hate you for the silence, the cold void you left,
Yet part of me still waits for the warmth of your breath.
I’m shattered by the games, the lies in your smile,
But there’s a piece of me that longs for you all the while.

I walked away from a life, my heart in your hands,
Believing in the fire, in things we had planned.
Now I’m drowning in questions, both bitter and sweet,
Wishing I could forget you, yet craving your heat.

I’m angry, I’m broken, but still I can’t flee,
The part of my soul that’s chained to what we could be.
I want to scream at the ghost you’ve become,
Yet I miss you in moments I thought I’d be numb.

Did you ever love me, or was it a game?
I burn with the anger, but still whisper your name.
I hate how I love you, how I can’t let you go,
Even though you left me in your silent shadow.

I’m torn between healing and holding on tight,
Caught in the crossfire of wrong and what feels right.
I don’t know if I’ll ever untangle this mess,
But somehow, through it all, I still feel your caress.

On campus where the light began to wane,
I saw her walking, a vision of grace,
With my friend by my side, I was lost in the scene,
Her beauty so radiant, like a dream I’d seen.

I gathered my courage, approached with a smile,
Her laughter, a melody, made the moments worthwhile.
Yet as we conversed, I sensed a subtle change,
My friend’s glances betrayed a quiet, hidden range.

So with a heavy heart, I stepped into the shade,
To give him the chance, though my own heart swayed.
I watched from the distance, where dreams softly sigh,
Hoping for a miracle beneath the campus sky.

Days drifted by, and fate spun its thread,
My friend’s pursuit faded, as silence spread.
Then one day, alone, beneath the golden light,
I crossed her path again, my heart taking flight.

“I’ve liked you for ages,” I whispered, so sincere,
Her eyes sparkled warmly, and she drew me near.
“I noticed, too,” she said with a tender smile,
In that serendipitous moment, our hearts reconciled.

In the dance of chance and fate’s gentle sway,
We found each other on that fateful day.
From the quiet shadows to a love’s sweet embrace,
Our serendipitous meeting left a lasting trace.

On a quiet street, where whispers dance,
I saw her there, by chance,
A tall, bright light in the evening glow,
Her voice a breeze, soft and low.

Her skin, a canvas of the dawn,
In every note, a dream reborn,
The melody she wove in air,
A tender grace beyond compare.

Each song she sang, a story spun,
A serenade to the setting sun,
With every lyric, hearts would sway,
As twilight turned to gentle gray.

In that moment, time stood still,
Captive to her vocal thrill,
A fleeting glimpse of beauty’s art,
She sang her way into my heart.

In the quiet corners where our hearts entwine,
I see the light of love, but shadows climb.
Your eyes hold a depth, a story untold,
Yet doubts cast their veil, and warmth turns cold.

We danced through laughter, dreams we shared,
In your gaze, a spark, a soul laid bare.
Yet whispers of insecurity drift through the night,
Turning our love’s glow into a flickering light.

I wish to mend the cracks, soothe each fear,
To show you the love that’s true and near.
But as walls of doubt slowly rise,
They veil the truth from your trusting eyes.

In the stillness of my heart, a plea does stay,
To see beyond the doubts and fears that sway.
For though the path is shadowed and hard to trace,
I long to find the light in your embrace.

So let us bridge the chasm with faith anew,
And turn the whispers into skies of blue.
For in the heart of love, through trials and strife,
I yearn to be the steady pulse in your life.

In the delicate silence where love should thrive,
I find my heart aching, struggling to survive.
You, a vision of grace, with a heart so true,
Yet your doubts weave shadows, and love feels askew.

We dreamed of forever, of moments so sweet,
But now those dreams falter, face a defeat.
Each whispered worry, each fear that you hold,
Turns the warmth of our love into something cold.

I’ve seen the beauty in your gentle eyes,
Yet they’re clouded with fears and endless goodbyes.
The love that we share, so deep and so real,
Is tangled in doubt, and it’s pain that I feel.

I reach out to you, but you pull away,
Fearing the love that should light up your day.
I wish I could mend every broken part,
And erase the shadows from your tender heart.

But as each day passes, my heart breaks anew,
Watching you struggle with a love so true.
I’m caught in the storm of your fears and your plight,
Yearning for solace in the dark of the night.

So here I stand, with an open plea,
Hoping that someday you’ll truly see—
That through all the doubts and the pain that we face,
My love is unwavering, a constant embrace.
