Aurora, The Untold

‎The clock's relentless march, a tyrant's drum, Beats out a rhythm I can't seem to numb. A symphony of deadlines, a chorus of demands, Has stolen moments, slipped through grasping hands. And in the wake of this relentless chase, I find myself before you, in this lonely space. A space where silence echoes, a hollow sound, Where promises unkept are deeply found. ‎ ‎I see the flicker of a shadowed doubt, The unspoken questions swirling all about. The gentle curve of lips, a subtle sigh, Reflects the hurt that lingers in your eye. And in that gaze, a truth I can't deny, That time, the thief, has stolen from us by and by. The precious hours, the moments we should share, Have vanished in the thin and fleeting air. ‎ ‎The culprit, you might ask, who bears the blame? It's not a villain with a wicked name, But rather, a relentless, driving force, That steers my life along a predetermined course. A world of work, a labyrinthine maze, Where every second counts, in countless ways. Where emails pile, and meetings never cease, And peace of mind is shattered, not released. This pressure cooker, this demanding scene, Has made a stranger of the man I've been. A man who cherished laughter, shared delight, And held your hand throughout the day and night. Now, shadows lengthen, and the day is done, And I am left with battles yet unwon. The weight of tasks, a burden I must bear, Has left me weary, burdened with despair. ‎ ‎So, here I stand, with words I must impart, A humble plea, a broken, contrite heart. I apologize, for time I couldn't lend, For moments lost, that I can't now amend. For missed appointments, and forgotten dates, For hurried conversations, sealed by fates That seemed to bind me, to a tireless quest, Leaving our connection sorely unblessed. I know that words, however softly said, Can't bring those precious moments from the dead. Can't mend the cracks, the fissures in our bond, Where love's sweet melody has gone beyond. But still, I offer this, a fragile plea, To bridge the gap, and set your spirit free. To understand the pressures that I face, And find forgiveness in this lonely place. ‎ ‎I promise you, that I will strive anew, To carve out moments, just for me and you. To silence the demands, the urgent calls, And break free from these confining walls. To prioritize the things that truly matter, To laugh with you, and let my spirit scatter The clouds of worry, the shadows of the day, And find the joy that time has swept away. I'll learn to balance, to find a better way, To honor commitments, come what may. To be present, fully, in each passing hour, And let our love regain its vibrant power. I'll seek the quiet, the moments we can seize, To find the solace, and the inner peace. To build a future, where our hearts align, And time, at last, becomes truly thine and mine. ‎ ‎Forgiveness, I implore, is what I seek, To heal the wounds, and make our spirits speak. To understand the hurt, the silent pain, And start again, to love, and to remain. For in your eyes, I see a love so true, A love that's worth fighting for, me and you. A love that's strong, and capable of grace, To find its solace in this lonely space. I hope that you can find it in your heart, To give me back the chance to make a start. To prove my love, in actions, clear and bright, And fill our days with laughter and with light. I know the journey will not be easy, But with your love, I know I can be breezy. I will try my best to make it right, And make our love shine ever so bright. ‎ ‎
