SHADOWS OF REGREAT

In the silence of the night, I stand alone,
A heart once pure, now turned to stone.
Whispers of love, now echoes of pain,
I let you go, and the shadows remain.

In my hands, I held your trust so tight,
But I let it slip, lost in the night.
Promises broken, and dreams torn apart,
The guilt lingers, heavy in my heart.

Eyes once bright, now clouded with tears,
I see your face in my darkest fears.
The warmth we shared, now feels so cold,
A tale of betrayal, a story retold.

Every memory haunts me like a ghost,
The moments we cherished, the love I lost most.
I tried to hold on, but I pushed you away,
And now I stand empty at the end of the day.

In the quiet, I mourn the choice I made,
A path of sorrow, in shadows I wade.
If only I could turn back, make things right,
I'd mend the broken pieces, bring back the light.

But time is a river, flowing too fast,
And the echoes of love fade into the past.
In the depths of my heart, the regret will stay,
For the one I betrayed, and the price I pay
