**Shattered Heart 💔💔**
The silence screams where laughter used to bloom,
A hollow echo in this empty room.
Your whispered promises, like fragile glass,
Lie scattered sharp on memories that pass.
My heart, a vessel you so gently held,
Now cracks and leaks, its precious stories felled.
Each beat a painful throb, a mournful drum,
Recalling days before the sorrow came.
I trace your absence on the dusty sill,
The phantom touch that sends a bitter chill.
The world moves on, oblivious and bright,
While I remain within this endless night.
I built a future, brick by hopeful brick,
Upon the love I thought would never flick.
But with a word, a glance, a turning tide,
That solid structure crumbled deep inside.
And now I wander through this aching space,
A broken map reflecting your lost face.
The shattered pieces, sharp and hard to mend,
A heartbroken man, my story without end.
