Where Do we Begin

The photos fade now To shades of a past life We built a grand dream On shifting sand ground Each step we take Is a mile apart No common horizon To mend a broken start The mirror reflects A stranger's cold gaze Your hand in mine A habit, a haze Separate lives we now roam In a house that's no longer home Two souls adrift in the night Extinguished the last shared light Our love, a ghost in the air A vacant, echoing despair Our stories diverge Like rivers to different seas No common ground found Only silent pleas We speak in whispers Of things we once knew But the language we shared Has been lost, me and you The mirror reflects A stranger's cold gaze Your hand in mine A habit, a haze Separate lives we now roam In a house that's no longer home Two souls adrift in the night Extinguished the last shared light Our love, a ghost in the air A vacant, echoing despair We tried to pretend The spark was still there But silence grew loud A burden to bear The laughter you seek Is no longer with me And the joy that I crave You cannot foresee Each morning breaks With a hollow regret For the dreams we once chased That we cannot forget The ties that once bound us Are fraying and thin A desolate future Where do we begin? Separate lives we now roam In a house that's no longer home Two souls adrift in the night Extinguished the last shared light Our love, a ghost in the air A vacant, echoing despair The mirror reflects A stranger's cold gaze Your hand in mine A habit, a haze Separate lives we now roam In a house that's no longer home Two souls adrift in the night Extinguished the last shared light Our love, a ghost in the air A vacant, echoing despair No shared interests Just separate ends A love's bitter close Where nothing transcends
