Sometimes in life, we feel the strain,
We see their tears, we sense their pain,
But can we understand their fights
The feelings they have felt in the lonliest nights?

When they were left alone, their hearts grew colder,
Carrying burdens that felt like boulders.

Can we truly understand their pain,
Until our own skies lose their cover,
It’s only then, as we discover,
The strength it takes to start over.

We fail to see their silent cries,
And with our words, their hope soon dies.
Blind to the scars beneath the skin,
We break the walls they’ve built within.

We harm the place they treasure close,
And wound again what hurts the most.

I couldn’t see the cracks inside,
The silent battles they fought to hide.
And with my words, like a haunting ghost,
I hurt what always hurt the most.

I’m sorry for all I’ve caused, the pain.
It’s over now, the damage is done,
But I still grieve of what we've become.

I wish I could turn back the hands of time,
Erase the hurt, rewrite the rhyme.
Yet all that’s left is a setting sun,
It’s over now, the pain’s begun.

I know I was harsh, too much to bear,
I overwhelmed you, left you in despair.
I see the mess I left behind,
Overwhelming love, but so unkind.

I’ll walk away, and set you free,
No hard feelings, just memories of you and me.
So I wish you all the best,
Though this goodbye leaves hearts distressed.

No embrace, no final touch...

No cheek to kiss, no arms to hold,
Just a quiet farewell, too bold.
The words unsaid, the love unspoken,
A farewell left forever broken.
