Fading
In the dark, we whispered dreams,
of a love we couldn’t hold.
The silence filled the spaces between,
as your hands began to let go.
Your eyes no longer shone like before,
and the fire started to fade.
What happened to the plans we made?
Our love seemed strong in our dreams.
But now your touch feels cold,
a chill that cuts right through my soul.
I want to scream, but the words won’t go,
and our hearts just beat between.
We tried to mend what’s in between,
but time’s a thief that takes away.
And now your voice just sounds so old,
with words that once could steal my heart.
I wish I knew just where to go–
but love’s a fight we can’t replay.
We fade like shadows in the night,
once we burned so strong, so bright.
But dreams they fade, and hearts grow cold,
our story’s told; we’re losing hold.
