Whispers of the past, now shadows on the wall,
Faces once familiar, now strangers in the hall.
Memories drift away like leaves in autumn’s wind,
Time slips through fingers, a story left unpinned.

Echoes of laughter haunt the empty rooms,
Silent tears fall amid the gathering gloom.
Names once known, now lost in the haze,
A mind wandering through a labyrinthine maze.

Moments of clarity, brief and rare,
Like fleeting stars in the night’s despair.
Eyes search for answers in a world turned gray,
Holding on to fragments of a brighter day.

Hearts break quietly, watching from afar,
As the light within dims to a distant star.
Love remains, a constant, through the storm,
Offering solace as the mind transforms.
