Echoes of Lost Love

I’m tired of being strong,

Pretending nothing’s wrong.

I’m tired, far from whole,

Lost inside this aching soul.

People move fast like shadows,

Their presence fades, and silence grows.

Life feels heavy, cold, and gray,

Those I loved have walked away.

They’re afraid of love in me,

My care too loud, too free.

I loved them more than I could say,

Maybe that’s why they slipped away.

My love seems to burn, not light,

My heart stays quiet, out of sight.

How do people smile when they betray?

Well, my trust in people is slipping away.

Now I’m trapped in sorrow’s deep sea,

Everything inside feels hollow in me.
