In the heart’s deepest chambers,
Where echoes of love once danced,
Now silence builds its walls,
A fortress of unspoken words.

The laughter that once filled rooms,
Now shadows whisper gloom,
Faces turn away in pain,
As bonds begin to wane.

Eyes that held the universe,
Now gaze past, cold and terse,
Hands that once were clasped tight,
Drift apart into the night.

Yet hope lingers, frail and thin,
Beneath the hurt, love lies within,
Waiting for a gentle touch,
To heal, to mend, to mean so much.
