Love's Lingering Shadow

In the depths of memory, he still resides,

A love that once bloomed and shone so bright.

But now the flame has dwindled and died,

And left behind a heart that can't take flight.


The years have passed, and time has marched on,

But the heart still beats for a love long gone.

The pain and longing remain so strong,

And the memories of him still linger on.


Through the highs and lows of life,

His image remains a constant strife.

The mind can't shake off the chains of the past,

And the heart remains in a love that can't last.


But perhaps one day, the heart will heal,

And the love that once was will no longer steal.

The soul will find a new love to feel,

And the past will fade into a distant reel.
