Inkwell Whispers

In the shadows of my heart's inkwell,

Where love's verses once brightly dwelled,

Now linger echoes of sweet despair,

A tragic tale of love laid bare.


Upon the parchment of our dreams,

We penned a love, or so it seemed,

But fate's cruel hand tore us apart,

Leaving naught but tears and a broken heart.


In whispered tones of midnight's breeze,

Our promises danced among the trees,

Yet time, relentless, played its part,

Driving a wedge through this fragile art.


The inkwell weeps its ebony tears,

As memories fade with passing years,

Each drop a testament of what was lost,

A love too beautiful, too high a cost.


In solitude, I seek your face,

But find only echoes in this desolate place,

The quill lays silent, no more to write,

Our love extinguished, swallowed by night.


So here I stand with pen in hand,

A love immortal, but now unmanned,

In the shadows of my heart's inkwell,

Where bittersweet whispers forever dwell.
