love was a canvas

I’m lost in the echoes, heart heavy like lead, Thoughts of love linger, but they’re fading instead, Used to chase the dream, now I’m chasing the pain, Every promise broken, like the sun in the rain. Memories haunt me, shadows dance in the dark, Used to spark joy, now they just leave a mark, Trust was a gamble, but I played all my cards, Now I’m stuck in this game, feeling lost in the yards. Love was a canvas, but I painted it wrong, Colors turned to gray, where we once felt so strong, Reflections in the mirror, just a ghost of the past, Searching for a feeling that was never meant to last. No love in the air, just the weight of regret, Thoughts of what we had, but I’m trying to forget. Life’s a cruel teacher, lessons hard to embrace, But I rise from the ashes, with scars I can trace.
