"The Quiet Goodbye"

We spoke not in words, but in silence deep,

Where love once roared, now shadows creep.

A glance, a sigh, a distant stare,

The weight of loss hangs in the air.

Your touch, once warmth, is now a chill,

A fleeting ghost, against my will.

Our laughter echoes, now hollow, dry,

A melody lost beneath the sky.

The dreams we built, they crumble slow,

Brick by brick, as tears overflow.

Promises whispered, now ashes in time,

Love’s sweet hymn turns into a crime.

No blame, no fault, just hearts astray,

Two souls who loved, now drift away.

And though it aches, this quiet goodbye,

I’ll let you go, but not the why.

For in the ruin, a seed may grow,

From pain, a strength we’ll come to know.

So walk your path, I’ll walk mine too,

In parting, love, I’ll still thank you.
