A Song of Unanswered Longing

Beneath the willow’s weeping shade, Where shadows dance and memories fade, I carve your name in silver air, A ghost of you that lingers there. The stars above, they softly sigh, For love unclaimed beneath the sky. Each breath I draw, a silent plea, For you, my heart will never be free. Oh, love that never comes, my endless flame, A whispered wish, a bittersweet refrain. Through hollow nights, I call your name, But echoes only answer my shame. Haunting, fleeting, a dream undone, My soul still aches for the love that never comes. The moonlit path where roses bleed, Their thorns confess my heart’s deep need. I trace the wind for traces of you, A fleeting warmth I never knew. The hours crawl, their weight profound, In empty rooms where hope is drowned. Yet still I wait, though time’s unkind, For love my heart will never find. Oh, love that never comes, my endless flame, A whispered wish, a bittersweet refrain. Through hollow nights, I call your name, But echoes only answer my shame. Haunting, fleeting, a dream undone, My soul still aches for the love that never comes. In dreams, your shadow brushes near, A fleeting touch, then disappears. The dawn betrays with cruel light, And steals your form from my lonely sight. Oh, cruel fate, why weave this spell? A heart entombed where longing dwells. Oh, love that never comes, my endless flame, A whispered wish, a bittersweet refrain. Through hollow nights, I call your name, But echoes only answer my shame. Haunting, fleeting, a dream undone, My soul still aches for the love that never comes. Beneath the stars, I’ll wait alone, With weathered heart and dreams of stone. Your name, a hymn on lips that burn, For love that never will return. Forever bound, forever lost, My soul, your ghost, at endless cost.
