Time slips like ash through fingers
Days vanish in hollow echoes
We chase shadows of ourselves
Ghosts of love we let decay

Every heartbeat, a wound
Every step, a memory burned

Fleeting moments
Stolen breaths
Pain whispers
Hope shivers

Celebrate the ache
Celebrate the loss
Celebrate the fading light
We linger, we endure

Regret claws deep
Memories unravel
The past lingers
Yet the fire bleeds inside

Hope fractures
Time corrodes
In the quiet
We gasp for air
