In shadows deep, my heart does ache,
A symphony of sorrow, a soul's forsaken wake.
Once love's sweet song, now silent, cold,
In the ruins of dreams, my heart unfolds.
A tapestry of memories, woven in despair,
Each thread a reminder of a love once so fair.
Tears like raindrops, fall from weary eyes,
As I watch our love's beautiful sunrise.
But now it sets, in a crimson blaze,
A heart in ruins, lost in a bewildering maze.
The ache is real, the pain profound,
In heartbreak's embrace, I am unbound.
Yet from these ashes, I'll find my way,
Rebuild my heart, with each passing day.
For love may falter, and dreams may break,
But the human spirit, it will not forsake.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

I like your use of images. Shadows, tapestries, threads, sunrise, sunset... very well done!
Great poem!
