Wind weeps through these ruins

An empty land swallowed by time

Was anything real?

I call into the hollow, the silent dust

How deprived I feel, echoes lost in stone

Standing in an empty field as you rush by

How could you just leave me so suddenly?

A canvas of sorrow left in decay

Grass stained like an oil painting from the confusion you unveiled

At a time, I figured us intertwined

Like roots of a forsaken earth

Fruits of our sufferings buried deep

We believed in what we found

I fix my gaze, awaiting your return

Straining as I cut deeper into the reasons why

Here in the dark, even ghosts forget their names

Ethereal

How can I heal a wound from a ghost?

It's not tangible, yet it lingers beneath the soil

Like bones left unmarked beneath shifting sands

A lonely night is enough to be truly alive

How could you just leave me so suddenly?

A canvas of sorrow left in decay

Grass stained like an oil painting from the confusion you unveiled

At a time, I figured us intertwined

Like roots of a forsaken earth

Fruits of our sufferings buried deep

We believed in what we found

I hear your whisper in the burial ground

Left ruminating inside these four walls

Haunted like a mausoleum

Relived times entangled in my soul

Through the cracks in the earth, through the marrow of grief

A requiem sung by the wind's cold teeth

All that remains are the embers of you

Embers remain

A pyre lit from the perfect storm

Now only embers remain

Echoes of your breath haunt me

And the embers burn

A spectral field of past emotion

You sutured my torn skin from the past

I fed upon illusion

Embers burn

Beneath the soil, whispers remain

Calling from a buried land

Sealed by time's cruel hand

Let the land take what is lost and the whispers fade into the void
