In tender whispers, our love first ignited
A flame that danced, with hearts fully devoted
Marriage vows spoken, promises made true
But ambition's shadow crept in,
and love drifted from you
Years passed like autumn leaves, with whispers cold
Family bonds shattered, children grew old
Their anger towards me, a heavy, lifelong weight
Resentment fueled my soul, a bitter, endless fate
I chased success, ignoring love's sweet pain
Our home became a war zone, love's last remains
Divorce papers signed, a final, crushing blow
My heart lay shattered, love's last ember low
But time, a healer, slowly revealed the truth
That love's demise was
my own heart's ruthless youth
I saw the pain I caused, the love I let slip away
And in this darkness,
a glimmer of forgiveness swayed
My soul, once frozen, now begins to thaw
As death's approach whispers,
"let go, forgive the law"
Forgive myself, forgive you, forgive the lies
Forgive the heartache, the shattered family ties
In this final breath, I reach for your hand
Wishing I’d lived, for love's promised land
Though life was imperfect, love was real
And in forgiveness, my heart finds its last reveal
Tears fall like rain, as I let go of pain
My soul, once broken, now heals, love remains
In death's dark veil, love's truth is finally free
A love that was lost, now finds its destiny.
