The Shattered Mirror

Amidst the quiet of the breaking dawn,
They walked through streets where echoes yawn.
The city's pulse, a steady beat,
As they ventured through the morning's heat.

A new mystery began to form,
A riddle hidden in a storm.
A shattered mirror, pieces strewn,
Reflected light, a fractured moon.

In the depths of a dusty hall,
They found the shards that told it all.
Each fragment held a whispered truth,
A tale of shadows, lost in youth.

The mirror's glass, so dark and cold,
Revealed a story, bold yet old.
A curse entwined with hearts so frail,
A love once bright now pale and frail.

The detective's gaze was firm and clear,
His resolve strong, his path sincere.
Beside him, a heart so true,
Guided him through the morning dew.

The shards spoke of a love betrayed,
Of promises that slowly frayed.
A mirror's fracture, deep and wide,
Reflected hearts where shadows hide.

They pieced together what was lost,
And faced the pain, no matter the cost.
Each fragment told of a broken trust,
A tale of love turned into dust.

Yet in the shards, a glimmer showed,
A chance to mend what shadows sowed.
Together they sought to heal the rift,
To give their hearts a needed lift.

The pieces mended, slowly whole,
Reflected back a stronger soul.
In the mirror's light, they saw anew,
A path where love could still break through.

Though shadows lingered, dark and deep,
Their bond was forged, their hearts would keep.
In shattered glass and broken dreams,
They found a love that still redeems.
