Sorrow's Embrace [SSC7 Make Us Cry Challenge]

[Verse 1] I wish the rain would wash away this ache inside my chest, Every drop a silent tear, a burden put to test. The world keeps spinning, colors fade, a muted, somber grey, Since the day you slipped away, and left me here to stay. [Chorus] I walk these halls, a ghost of me, through rooms that once held light, Each photograph a whispered lie, of everything that's right. The laughter that we used to share, now just an empty sound, A cruel reminder of the joy, that never can be found. [Verse 2] They tell me time will heal the wounds, and ease the bitter sting, But every dawn just brings the weight, the memories they bring. I close my eyes and see your smile, I hear your gentle voice, And then I wake to this cold truth, I never had a choice. [Chorus] I walk these halls, a ghost of me, through rooms that once held light, Each photograph a whispered lie, of everything that's right. The laughter that we used to share, now just an empty sound, A cruel reminder of the joy, that never can be found. [Bridge] The pillow still holds faint perfume, a scent I long to trace, A tangible connection to, your tender, warm embrace. I search the crowds for just a glimpse, a shadow in the street, Knowing well it's just my heart, playing cruel, deceitful feat. [Outro] So let the music play for us, a melancholic tune, For all the words I left unsaid, beneath the silver moon. And if by chance you hear my plea, from wherever you may be, Just know a piece of me went with you, lost eternally.
