Sonnets for a Shattered Dream

A heart that once soared now lingers in the dust Under skies of memories that crumble into rust I wander silent streets where lost echoes weep Tracing fragile footsteps of promises I couldn't keep Oh the midnight weeps for a love that couldn't stay Broken vows and faded hopes slowly drift away In these sonnets of sorrow I cradle every pain Each tear a silent testament to love in vain Sunlit days have withered into endless grey Every whispered secret fading further away I search the ruins of our past in the twilight's glow Yet every tender memory burns with a quiet woe Though winds of longing murmur your forgotten name They echo through the void igniting a lonely flame In the hush of midnight's breath our hearts are left confined Dancing with shattered dreams eternally intertwined Oh the midnight weeps for a love that couldn't stay Broken vows and faded hopes slowly drift away In these sonnets of sorrow I cradle every pain Each tear a silent testament to love in vain As the final star dissolves into the gloom I surrender to the silence that fills this empty room In these sonnets for a shattered dream I pen our last goodbye Leaving behind the ghost of love that will forever cry
