Echoes of Loss and Hope
In the stillness of the night, I lie awake
Reflecting on the connections I've made
Some fleeting, some lasting, all leaving a mark
A tangled web of love, pain, and dark
Questions swirl in my mind, reaching up to the sky
God, do you see me? Can you hear my cry?
Why do we love, only to lose?
Why do we trust, only to be bruised?
An elegy for the innocence lost
In a world so cruel, so cold, so crossed
For the hearts broken, the dreams shattered
For the times we thought nothing else mattered
So I stand here, alone in the dark
Haunted by memories, leaving their mark
To love and to lose, to question and wonder
In this life, a never-ending plunder
But still, I hold on to hope in my heart
That the pain and the loss will someday depart
And that in the end, when all is said and done
I will find peace, and finally run.
