Shattered Echoes

Shattered Echoes (by Dena_mulyana)

I gathered your promises like fallen leaves, Pressed them between pages that forgot how to bloom. Your voice, once the hymn to my mornings, Now lingers — a ghost lost between heartbeats. I build castles from the ruins you left, Homes out of hollow dreams. Still, every stone I lift Whispers your name in a tongue I can't unlearn. Tonight, the stars refuse to shine for me, And even the moon hides its face. I chase the ghost of you through sleepless skies, Wearing my heartbreak like a second skin. If forgetting is a journey, Then I'm still at the gate — Keyless, breathless, Begging the night to let me in.
