This poem explores hidden grief, longing, and the quiet ache of remembering someone who is no longer within reach. Beneath a smiling face lies an ocean of unspoken sorrow, as the speaker clings to the hope of seeing a cherished soul one final time before the season of memories fades into autumn.
I carry smiles to hide my weeping heart.
With laughter, I silence the whispers of my memories.
I long to live just once more,
before the season ends,
in the light of what we were
Behind my eyes,
tears flow like rivers through the night.
My weary soul sings a sorrowful song,
relentlessly searching for an answer:
Will I ever see you again,
as you once were;
one last glimpse
before the season fades away,
as autumn leaves turn grey.
