In the shadow of forgotten dreams,
Where whispers linger, soft and low,
Two hearts once bound, now torn at seams,
In silent echoes, love did go.

The moonlight weeps on empty streets,
Where once we walked in tender grace,
Now shadows dance where our paths meet,
And time has worn away your face.

A broken promise in the night,
Carved in the stars that fade away,
A love once fierce, now out of sight,
In the dawn of another lonely day.

Yet in the quiet of my mind,
Your memory lingers, bittersweet,
A haunting song I cannot find,
In the rhythm of my heart’s retreat.
