A Fool Am I
The sun sets, casting shadows on the shore,
Memories linger, like whispers of the past.
Forgotten and weary, a fool am I,
Clinging to dreams that have long faded.
Every step forward feels like retreat,
Your path moves onward, just left me behind.
A thousand stars cannot light this empty road,
Nor mend the cracks of a broken heart.
Foolish in longing, a fool am I,
Hoping for echoes where silence reigns.
Time passes, cruel in its relentless march,
And you, unbothered, just left me behind.
Winds howl, carrying the scent of despair,
Their icy touch whispers truths I ignore.
I trusted the breeze, a fool am I,
Believing it would guide me to you.
But the storm you birthed left me stranded,
And the calm that followed just left me behind.
Your laughter once painted the sky in hues,
Now it’s a memory etched in grayscale.
Still chasing shadows, a fool am I,
Reaching for hands that never reached back.
Every dream turns into a jagged shard,
Cutting deep as you just left me behind.
The river flows, indifferent to my pain,
Carving paths I can never follow.
I swam against currents, a fool am I,
Believing the tide would bring me closer.
But I drift further from what I once knew,
Lost at sea as you just left me behind.
Your name lingers like a haunting refrain,
A melody that plays in endless loops.
I hum its tune softly, a fool am I,
Holding onto ghosts that time can't erase.
Yet the chorus ends in bitter silence,
And the echo fades, just left me behind.
Promises made dissolve like morning mist,
Gone with the first rays of truth’s cruel light.
I clung to your words, a fool am I,
Mistaking the fleeting for something eternal.
Now the mist dissipates, leaving the void,
Where you stood, then just left me behind.
The road stretches on with no end in sight,
Its twists and turns mirror my fractured soul.
Still tracing your steps, a fool am I,
Blind to the signs that said "turn away."
But even the road forgets my footsteps,
Erased as you just left me behind.
Rain falls, a symphony of unspoken grief,
Each drop whispers secrets I already know.
Still standing in storms, a fool am I,
Hoping the deluge will cleanse my sorrow.
Yet the rain stops, leaving only the cold,
And the emptiness just left me behind.
The moon watches, a silent witness to loss,
Its light too pale to guide me back home.
I pleaded with the night, a fool am I,
Hoping its stillness would bring me peace.
But dawn rises, stealing even the stars,
And its brightness just left me behind.
