In the quiet of a starry night,

I laid my heart, a fragile light,

Wrapped in dreams, so soft, so sweet,

I offered it up, a tender treat.


With eyes like oceans, deep and wide,

You drew me in, I lost my guide,

Your laughter danced like summer rain,

But shadows whispered, hinting pain.


I painted futures, bright and bold,

In colors warm, in stories told,

Yet in your gaze, a flicker, a spark,

A warning sign, a hidden mark.


You wore a smile, a charming guise,

But in your depths, I failed to rise,

For love can wear a mask so fine,

And lead the heart to cross the line.


I gave you trust, a sacred gift,

But in your hands, it started to drift,

Like autumn leaves in a restless breeze,

My heart lay bare, brought to its knees.


The moments shared, the laughter bright,

Now echo softly in the night,

For every promise, every vow,

Was just a whisper, lost somehow.


I learned too late, the bitter truth,

That love can fade, can steal our youth,

And though I mourn what could have been,

I’ll gather strength, I’ll rise again.


So here’s my heart, though bruised and worn,

I’ll mend the pieces, though I’m torn,

For in the ashes, I’ll find my way,

To love again, come what may.
