 In the shadows where sorrow lays, A flicker of hope ignites the haze. Though tears may fall like rain from skies, Within your heart, a spark still lies. These weeks have felt like heavy chains, But every storm will fade with gains. Let go of burdens, embrace the light, You’re stronger than this endless night. With every breath, a chance to rise, To chase your dreams, to touch the skies. So take a step, however small, For in each moment, you stand tall. Health and happiness, your guiding stars, Shine bright above, no matter how far. Hold onto goals that fill your soul, You have the strength to reach your goal. So breathe in hope, let worries fade, In every heartbeat, a new path laid. You’re on a journey, each day a gift, Embrace the love, let your spirit lift.

 In quiet corners of my mind, Where echoes of laughter used to play, I wander through memories intertwined, Searching for words I wish to say. Once, a voice close, a heartbeat near, We shared the days, the dreams, the fears. Now silence lingers, yet I persevere, Embracing solitude through the years. In moments alone, I learn to breathe, Finding strength in whispers of the past. Though once I sought to weave and seethe, I cherish the peace that solitude casts. So here I stand, with open heart, Sharing my stories, unafraid to feel. For even alone, I’m a work of art, In the canvas of life, I begin to heal

Once vibrant threads now frayed, A heart that once felt whole and free, Now aches with memories, longing to be. Days drift by, a shadowed hue, Moments shared, now lost from view, I reach for you, but find the air, A whisper’s ghost, a fleeting prayer. Sleepless nights, the tears fall slow, Missing the warmth of love’s gentle glow, You were my world, my safe embrace, Now I'm a wanderer in empty space. I’ll write my heart in words unspoken, Hoping for healing, though bonds may be broken, In the silence, I’ll find my way, Learning to cherish the love that won’t

In a year’s embrace, we wove our dreams, Shared laughter and whispers, or so it seems. But now the clock ticks, and shadows grow long, Your voice, once a melody, now feels like a song. You’ve vanished like echoes in a faraway night, Leaving me searching for the warmth of your light. Messages linger, but replies come so slow, What once was a river now trickles like snow. I wonder if memories fade like the stars, If caring for others means leaving behind scars. You say you’re away, tending to kin, Yet I’m left here wondering where we’ve been. A picture, a call, a glimpse of your heart, Would tether the distance, would bridge us apart. But silence speaks loudly, in the void you reside, I question my place, while you turn the tide. Though I miss you deeply, I’ll stand here and wait, Hoping for moments when you’ll resonate. In the silence of distance, I’ll hold on to hope, That one day you'll return, and together we'll cope.
