Echoes of Longing

I am awaiting the sunrise

I watch the dawn with longing eyes.

Yet when it comes, deceit unfolds

Deceptive warmth, a fleeting veil

 

Frozen, I stand in the falling rain

A motionless soul in nature's parade

Your voice, a distant echo near

As I tumble again, drowning in fear

 

Devotion escapes, a fleeting ghost,

In the echoes of sadness, where darkness follows.

A whispered "I know" in the tear-stained night,

We walk into the darkness, chasing the fading light.

 

Together, we walked, into the night's embrace,

Must I bid you farewell, my heart's trace?

In the echoes of sadness, are you for me?

Or am I to remain under this moonlit sky?
