In the mirror, I see the cracks,
Fragments of dreams turn to dust,
Echoes of laughter, faded tracks,
Time slipped away, lost in rust.
We chased the night with wanton hearts,
Thought we were leaders of our fate,
But in the light, the shadow starts,
A whispered truth we underestimated.
Fading stars in the midnight sky,
Illusions dance in our weary minds,
Regret hangs heavy, a silent sigh,
As we count the moments that time unwinds.
We built our hopes on shifting sands,
Promise and pain entwined so tight,
But every dream slips through our hands,
Like fleeting shadows swallowed by night.
Remember when we believed in forever?
Every heartbeat a vow to try,
Now those echoes ring, a ghost of never,
In the silence, we forget to cry.
Fading stars in the midnight sky,
Illusions dance in our weary minds,
Regret hangs heavy, a silent sigh,
As we count the moments that time unwinds.
Now I stand on this edge of change,
With shattered dreams as my guiding light,
I won't let illusions lead me astray,
In the end, it's the truth I’ll fight.
So here's to the lessons in the lost time,
To rise from the ashes, reclaim what's mine,
Though shadows may linger, I now see my road,
With a heart renewed, I’ll lighten my load.
Our stories are written in starlit scars,
The whispers of fate beneath broken bars.
As the night fades softly and my fears disperse,
I’ll find my way home, for better or worse.
