Maybe we were trying too hard,
Pouring our souls into a love built on shards,
Hand in hand, we painted dreams of grandeur,
But oh, how painful when our dreams start to falter.

It's crazy how life can deceive,
Leading two hearts on a false reprieve.
We thought our love could overcome all the strife,
But now it's fading, and drifting away like a thief.

Our hearts intertwined, beating as one,
But now bitterness taints the love once begun.
Whispered words of affection ring hollow,
For love's flame fades, leaving a void to follow.
