Shadows of yesterday

I’ve walked this road for a hundred years,
Each step grows colder, filled with fears.
The echoes of my laughter fade,
Lost in the whispers time has made.

I see her there, a younger face,
Her dreams alive, her heart a chase.
But time, a thief, has taken all,
Leaving regrets that rise and fall.

Shadows of yesterday dance in my mind,
Flickering flames of what I left behind.
A life that once burned bright and free,
Now just ashes of what used to be.

A thousand faces, smiles that fade,
Promises that time betrayed.
Love was a fire, burned too bright,
Leaving scars that haunt the night.

The mirror shows a distant face,
Her eyes are worn, lost in space.
She wonders where the years have flown,
And if she'd choose this path alone.

Shadows of yesterday dance in my mind,
Flickering flames of what I left behind.
A life that once burned bright and free,
Now just ashes of what used to be.

If I could hold her hand once more,
That girl I lost along the way,
I’d tell her, “Hold your heart so close,
Don’t let it slip or fade to gray.”

But time’s a tide that won’t be kind,
It pulls us far, it leaves behind.
I stand alone, the night so cold,
Haunted by dreams that once were bold.

Shadows of yesterday, they linger on,
The woman I was, forever gone.
