Solace

 Solace 


In chambers dim, I once did thrive,

Life's rhythm flowed through veins alive


A silent ailment, it’s whispers grow

Became an indomitable foe 


Once unwavering, now I falter

A dance disrupted, a rhythm altered 


A symphony of beats, a song of grace

Now echoes with a much faster pace 


Each beat a struggle, each breath a fight,

Palpitations' bite, in the quiet night


Amid life's fragile, fleeting tune,

Death's whisper hums, a somber croon.


Silent intruder, it takes its toll

A battle within, ravaging my soul


Though shadows gather, a glimmer gleams,

The end draws near, surreal it seems


A broken heart, no chance to mend

Loyal to your love to the bitter end


Silent sorrows, like heavy shrouds

Evaporate in gently on misty clouds


In shattered echoes of love, once strong 

A broken heart sings its mournful song 


Torn, tattered, it bears the pain

A wounded soul in a world of rain 


Memories dance, like fragile glass 

Reflecting moments that could not last


Aching void, a gaping space

Where once a smile lit up her face


Hear my plea, my heartfelt call

Smile for me ere the fall


The memory my heart shall bear,

Your happiness, a balm to wear.


Though Death has torn us apart,

Find solace and mend your heart.
