In the echoes of a love now faded,

A week has passed, emotions shaded.

Busy times, a Christmas rush,

Yet in your heart, an ache, a hush.

Understanding spoken, yet actions cold,

Compromise sought, but stories untold.

Love, a pact of good and bad,

Promises made, but now seem clad.

Are vows mere echoes, whispers untrue?

Is it easy for them to bid adieu?

You question, hurt, and wonder why,

As love fades, tears stain the sky.
