A hollow shell I stand, on the shore of despair,
The ocean of laughter, replaced by an icy stare.
Each wave of memory crashes, a painful refrain,
Of love's melody silenced, leaving only the rain.
Laughter's ghost echoes, a cruel, mocking sound,
Haunting the chambers where happiness once was found.
Footsteps on sand, a fading trace,
Of promises whispered, in a forgotten embrace.
Will the tide recede, reveal the shattered pearl within?
Can this empty shell ever feel the sun's warmth again?
Or will I forever stand, a monument to what's lost,
A hollow echo of joy, at an unbearable cost?
