May 3rd, 2023

In the twilight, shadows dance with fright,
Where once the laughter echoed through the night.
Flames lick the sky, a haunting, pink embrace,
Beauty woven with the threads of sorrow’s trace.

The bells, they toll, a mournful sound,
As whispers of fear shatter the ground.
Once, we were neighbors, hearts intertwined,
Now, the echoes of betrayal linger, unconfined.

Houses crumble like dreams cast away,
In the glow of destruction, innocence lay.
A melody of chaos fills the air,
As love turns to ashes, consumed by despair.

Through my window, the world unfolds,
A canvas of pain painted in hues of gold.
Every explosion, a heartbeat lost,
In this theater of shadows, we bear the cost.

Yet beneath the sorrow, a flicker remains,
Of hope in the darkness, despite the chains.
For even in ruins, the spirit can rise,
To reclaim the beauty beyond the skies.
