When Love Walks Away

We began like dawn,

two souls rising with warmth,

hands woven in promise,

eyes carrying forever.

But time is a thief—

it softened our fire,

turned laughter to silence,

and closeness to miles.

You wore the night in your gaze,

I carried shadows in mine.

Between us, words became weapons,

and silence a wall too tall to climb.

So here we stand,

two figures in black,

on a road that splits our hearts,

the air heavy with endings.

The sky mourns with us—

clouds weeping, light breaking faintly,

a fragile memory of what we were.

Love does not vanish;

it changes shape,

from flame, to ember, to ash—

yet in the ashes lies truth:

we loved,

we lost,

we learned.
