Where Sorrows Fade and Truths Unfold@

Where Sorrows Fade, and Truths Unfold

In the echoes of yesterday,
Where unspoken words reside,
A silent lament, a heart heavy and tied.
Lost in thoughts of you, in memories replay,
Futile musings on the why of your way…

Your absence a void, a relentless ache,
Each note of your song, a bittersweet wake.
Oh, Ryan, lend me strength to stem this tide,
To quell the tears that in silence hide...

Every dawn unfolds the cruel truth anew,
A phantom pain of losing you.
Prayers whispered to the morning skies,
Yearning for a glimpse where love never dies,
Wishing again, that you not I, should be alive...

Blind to the shadows that haunted your eyes,
Lost in my world, in self-made lies and alibis.
Regrets like shadows, haunting my soul,
Words unspoken, a toll I can't console.
To death I confess, in secret I confide…

I cling to memories, a fragile thread,
Afraid to bid farewell, to the one I dread.
Oh, how I wish fate had dealt a different hand,
That I, not you, would be the one to withstand.

In the depths of my sorrow, a plea to the sky,
A wish for solace, a longing to defy.
To grasp at dreams of a yesterday untold,
Where sorrows fade, and truths unfold...
