Crescendo of Collapse

A cycle of poems «Your Melody of Heartache»

Lightning strikes the restless air,
Whispers crack beneath despair,
Building storm we can’t surpass -
Here begins our crescendo of collapse.

Every moment steeped in doubt,
Holding on but breaking out.

Crescendo of collapse,
Rising tides that pull and snap,
Fractured hearts beneath the map,
Fading light, the final gap -
Crescendo of collapse.

We danced on edges, sharp and thin,
A fragile world we lived within.
The cracks grew louder from within,
Till silence drowned the fight to win.

Every moment steeped in doubt,
Holding on but breaking out.

Crescendo of collapse,
Rising tides that pull and snap,
Fractured hearts beneath the map,
Fading light, the final gap -
Crescendo of collapse.

Words like thunder, harsh and cold,
Stories shattered, left untold.
Broken dreams we tried to hold,
Slipping fast, the night unfolds.

If we could turn the tides around,
Undo the rise, reclaim the ground,
Would love survive the piercing sound,
Or be lost where shadows drowned?

Echoes fade, the storm recedes,
Silent hearts with broken creeds,
In the ruins, no one leads -
The crescendo of collapse proceeds.
