Once loved

I loved like a tide loves the sea, Crashing wild, with everything in me. My heart was a tempest of fire and light, Dancing on the edge of eternity, burning bright.

I loved like a tide loves the sea,


Crashing wild, with everything in me.


My heart was a tempest of fire and light,


Dancing on the edge of eternity, burning bright.

Families use Facebook to search for loved ones after fires


Blowing through empty corridors of my soul,


A hollow gust where my heart used to beat.


 


I gave it all, until my hands bled rivers,


Until my veins ran dry, and my voice faded into the storm.


I loved so much I became the love itself—


But now, I am only the void it carved within.


 


I am the echo of that vanished tenderness,


A ghost wandering through the ruins of my own making.


No more softness, no more warmth—


Just a vessel drained of all color, all light.


 


The love I carried turned to dust in my chest,


And now I am weightless, floating in the dark,


I once loved like the universe—


But now, I am a star flickering without a spark.
