My heart, once full, now broken lies
A fragile shell, with tears that rise
Like shards of glass, sharp and fine
Reflecting the love that could never be mine.

In sorrow's dark and endless night
I search for solace, a guiding light
But like a flame, our love's warmth fades
Leaving only ash, and heartbreak's shades.

Memories of joy, now taunt and tease
A bittersweet reminder of what could never be
The ache within, a hollowed space
A longing for love's gentle, warm embrace.

Time may heal, but won't erase
The scars of heartbreak's bitter taste
Yet still I hold on to love's pure light
And hope that someday, it will shine bright.
