#fadinglove

Once upon a time in a quaint little town, there lived a girl named Emma. Her heart once danced to the rhythm of love, entwined with the boy named Lucas. Their love was like a blooming garden, vibrant and full of promise. But as time passed, something began to shift within Emma. It started subtly, like a whispering wind on a calm day. She noticed the little things that she used to adore about Lucas had begun to lose their sparkle. His laughter, once a symphony that serenaded her soul, now felt like distant echoes. Emma tried to ignore the growing rift, hoping it was just a passing phase. She immersed herself in books and long walks, searching for solace in the world beyond her own. The once vivid colors of their shared world seemed to fade, replaced by muted shades of uncertainty. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the town, Emma found herself sitting by the old oak tree they used to frequent. Its branches seemed to cradle her, offering silent understanding. Lucas joined her, his eyes reflecting the fading twilight. "Emma, we've been distant lately. Is something on your mind?" Emma hesitated, her heart pounding like a distant drumbeat. She looked into Lucas' eyes, once the windows to his soul, but now feeling like a mirror reflecting her own uncertainty. "Lucas, I... I think something has changed," Emma confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. Lucas' face fell, and he reached out to hold her hand. "Changed? Emma, we've been through so much together. We can work through this, whatever it is." Tears welled in Emma's eyes, as she wrestled with the truth in her heart. "Lucas, I've been trying to understand it myself. But it feels like we've become strangers, walking along separate paths." The words hung heavy in the air, an unspoken truth that neither of them wanted to face. They sat in silence, the weight of their fading love palpable. Days turned into weeks, and the distance between them grew wider. They tried to mend what was broken, but the threads of their love had unraveled beyond repair. They both knew that it was time to let go. Under the same old oak tree, where their love had once blossomed, they sat for the last time. They held each other, their hearts heavy with the bittersweet ache of goodbye. As they parted ways, Emma felt a strange mixture of sadness and relief wash over her. The echoes of their fading love lingered, like a melancholy melody that would forever be etched in her soul. In time, the wounds healed, and Emma learned to dance to the rhythm of life once more. She carried the memories of their love, not as a burden, but as a reminder that even the deepest of connections can ebb and flow like the tides. And so, Emma walked forward, her heart open to new beginnings, knowing that the echoes of a fading love were but a chapter in the grand tapestry of her life.

Don't judge me I may be a loner I may be an island But you'll never know how I came to be Never know the volcanic explosion that made me. ~ Nick Adigu Burke ~ Image credit: Julius_Silver (Pixabay) #lovepoem #fadinglove #lostlovepoem #breakup #breakuppoem #breakupoetry #divorce #abusiverelationship #brokenlove #lovepoetry #brokenhearted #poeticflare #darkpoetry #splittingup #unhappycouple #uncoupling #cheatingex #thankyounext #poetrycommunity #poetsociety #poetrysociety #brokenhome #lifepoetry (at Holmfirth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CblbyGiMdoO/?utm_medium=tumblr

~ Impenetrable ~ No more will my tears entwine With the blood of my bleeding heart For I will never stab that organ With your dagger-shaped words again The years have calcified the pain And from the stones of that occurrence I have built an impenetrable wall. ~ Nick Adigu Burke ~ If you enjoy my writing, please feel free to check out my published works.

~ Never Enough ~ I used to think I was never enough, but how did I expect you to love, when you were never enough (for you) . In the coldness of your shadow, I used to hurt, used to shiver, but soon I realised, you never did see me. I was only a mirror in which you could abuse your reflection. I would pity you, but pitying takes commitment, and quite frankly, you're not worthy. ~ Nick Adigu Burke ~ Just lay in bed, and my muse came out this 😂 such a joker that one 🤣 #lovepoem #fadinglove #lostlovepoem #breakup #breakuppoem #breakupoetry #divorce #abusiverelationship #brokenlove #lovepoetry #brokenhearted #poeticflare #darkpoetry #splittingup #unhappycouple #uncoupling #cheatingex #thankyounext (at Holmfirth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTar5QoqgfX/?utm_medium=tumblr

It should’t have happened but my friend in you died when you said those three words.
