in shadows cast by sorrows heavy weight,
a sonnet weaves, a requiem for fate.
a love once vibrant, now a distant song,
in echoes of the past where we belong.

1. the tears that fall like rain on barren land,

a testament to loves ephemeral stand.
the laughter shared, now echoes in the breeze,
a haunting melody through empty trees.
each sunrise mourns the absence of your light,
10 as daybreak whispers through the endless night.
the ache within, a silent, constant knell,
in solitude, where memories dwell.
yet, in the echoes of loves fading breath,
a bittersweet symphony of life and death.
