was is my fault

Where did it go, that fervent flame, The love you swore would never wane? A whisper now, a faded gleam, Lost in the echoes of a dream. Remember whispered words so sweet, Promises whispered, incomplete? Each stolen glance, each tender touch, Meant everything, or so I thought, so much. The sunlit meadows where we strolled, Now shadowed paths, forever cold. The laughter shared, a joyful sound, Replaced by silence, profound. Did the seeds of affection fail to root, Choked by doubts, a bitter fruit? Or did the storms of life descend, And tear the bond, until the very end? I search my heart for what went wrong, Where did our melody go wrong? Was it my fault, a flaw unseen, That shattered the image, serene? Perhaps love's nature is to fade, A fleeting moment, briefly swayed. But still, the memory lingers on, Of a love that's lost, forever gone. Now only ashes remain, Of that passion that had once burned, A reminder of what could have been, What was taken, what was unlearned. The future stretches, vast and wide, With you no longer by my side. I'll navigate this lonely sea, And hope someday, to find tranquility.
