Whispers of yesterday

A heart's remembrance

"Another dawn, another chance to chase

Happiness and love's elusive, fading pace

I smile wistfully, gazing out the pane

Yearning for something new, a respite from pain

It feels like I'm trapped in a cycle of sorrow

Reliving each sad day, with no tomorrow

Memories of tears and longing still linger on

A heart once full of hope, now heavy as a stone

Punished for embracing joy, for daring to smile

O, cruel world, is this the fate I must endure for a while?

Sometimes I yearn to break free from this weight

To rediscover the carefree heart of my youth, my happy state

I miss the unbridled laughter, the unafraid tears

The fragile, innocent me, untainted by life's fears

But time's relentless march denies me that reprieve

No turning back the clock, no rewinding life's tapestry to retrieve

I chuckle mirthlessly, a melancholy refrain

A reminder that reality's harsh lessons cannot be erased in vain"
