Amidst the whispering winds of time's embrace,
A tale of love unfolds in empty space,
A soul, once brave, sought a heart's sweet grace,
In a courtship dance, they sought their place.
He courted her with words both kind and true,
A painter of dreams, his heart he'd imbue,
With verses woven, like a web, they grew,
A tapestry of hopes, their love to pursue.
But fate, unkind, had different plans in store,
Like a fleeting dream, she walked out the door,
In the twilight's glow, his heart lay torn and sore,
For the love he sought, she could not restore.
In the echoes of their song, a bittersweet refrain,
Memories linger, like the soft summer rain,
A love unrequited, a heart filled with pain,
In the depths of his soul, the scars remain.
Yet, from the embers of love's shattered art,
A wiser heart emerged, stronger than at the start,
For though love faltered, leaving them apart,
Life's journey continues, and so does his heart.
So, let the night embrace this poignant tale,
Of love's pursuit and how it could derail,
A courtship's end may leave hearts frail,
But new beginnings, too, can set sail.
