Dead Feelings

A cycle of poems «I'll Be Waiting for You on the Shore»

In the shadows where we used to laugh,
Echoes linger, but the warmth's all past,
Memories like ghosts, haunting every night,
What was once vibrant, now fades out of sight.

We danced on fire, didn’t know the cost,
Now I’m left wondering what we lost.
Looking at pictures, feels like a crime,
Chasing the moments, but they slip through time.

These dead feelings, buried in the ground,
Whispers of love, but I can't hear a sound.
Heart's an empty vessel, drifting away,
Searching for color in the shades of gray.
Oh, these dead feelings, they won’t set me free,
Holding on tight to what we used to be.

Staring through the window at the pouring rain,
Every drop reminds me of the silent pain.
Conversations linger on the tip of my tongue,
Words left unspoken, where did we go wrong?

We built a kingdom, now it’s turned to dust,
Once felt so easy, now it's all so tough.
Keep looking forward, but the past won't fade,
A heart once alive, now feels so betrayed.

These dead feelings, buried in the ground,
Whispers of love, but I can't hear a sound.
Heart's an empty vessel, drifting away,
Searching for color in the shades of gray.
Oh, these dead feelings, they won’t set me free,
Holding on tight to what we used to be.

Maybe in time, I’ll learn to let go,
But scars keep reminding me of this hollow.
A flicker of hope, buried deep in the night,
Can the ashes of love ignite this fight?

These dead feelings, buried in the ground,
Whispers of love, but I can't hear a sound.
Heart's an empty vessel, drifting away,
Searching for color in the shades of gray.
Oh, these dead feelings, they won’t set me free,
Holding on tight to what we used to be.

So I'll carry this weight, like a ghost in my soul,
Learning through silence, how to become whole.
Dead feelings may linger, but I’ll find my way,
Through the ruins of yesterday, I’ll dance in the fray.
Oh, these dead feelings, they’re part of my song,
In the echoes of heartbreak, I’ll still find where I belong.
