In the quiet corners of my heart, echoes resound,
Promises once bright now drift in fading light,
Dreams that danced with the dawn have flown,
Leaving shadows where hope once shone.

The whispers of yesterday linger in the air,
Like fragile leaves in an autumn’s despair,
Eyes searching for paths that vanished away,
In the silence, the heart learns to sway.

Each step forward met by unseen walls,
A tapestry of wishes unraveling and falls,
The weight of longing in every breath,
Carving paths through the valley of regret.

Yet amidst the echoes, a flicker remains,
A quiet resilience that softly sustains,
For even in disappointment’s deep embrace,
A new dawn awaits to illuminate the space.
