Echoes of a Closed Chapter
#WritcoPoemPrompt48
Write a poem about a time that your illusions of someone or something were shattered.
A chapter opened, fleeting and bright,
A tale of shadows, mingling with light.
I saw in you a dream, a spark,
But dreams can fade, leave the heart stark.
Your words were sweet, your gaze a song,
Yet somewhere, the harmony went wrong.
An illusion crafted by time's soft hands,
Slipped through like grains of shifting sands.
A chapter opened, fleeting and bright,
A tale of shadows, mingling with light.
I saw in you a dream, a spark,
But dreams can fade, leave the heart stark.
Your words were sweet, your gaze a song,
Yet somewhere, the harmony went wrong.
An illusion crafted by time's soft hands,
Slipped through like grains of shifting sands.
The door once ajar, now gently closed,
Yet whispers linger where love once posed.
Moments remain, though blurred they be,
Faint etchings on the soul's tapestry.
A laugh, a glance, a fleeting embrace,
Fragments of time I cannot erase.
Though truths emerged and the veil fell,
The ache persists, a quiet spell.
The lines between truth and dreams dissolve,
A puzzle of memories left unresolved.
I carry the weight of what could not be,
A bittersweet song that stays with me.
The chapter ends, but its echoes start,
Etched in the chambers of my heart.
Through time and change, though worlds apart,
You linger...
