LOVER'S LAMENT
In the depths of my heart, a melancholic tune
Echoes through the chambers, like a mournful moon
A love lost, a heartbreak so profound
My soul aches, without a sound
I wander through the city streets, alone
A ghostly figure, with a heart of stone
Memories flood my mind, of love once pure
Now shattered, broken, and obscure
I search for solace, in the depths of my soul
But the pain lingers, like a black hole
An abyss of emptiness, where love once thrived
Now a void, where my heart has died
Yet, through the pain, I find a glimmer of hope
A chance to heal, to learn, to cope
For love, like life, is a journey to behold
And even in heartbreak, a new story can unfold
