Amber Liquid

They are haunted
By the ghost
Of love lost
And the painful memories
Of what could have been.
The love songs
That once held
A promise of hope
Now leave them
With a sense of loss.
Another year has passed,
And little has changed.

The chimes at midnight fleeting
Are a harsh reminder
That time doesn't wait
For anyone.
It is a call to let go
Of the past,
But it falls
On deaf ears.
The sorrow, the regrets,
And the pain, all remain
Encased in a glass
Of amber liquid.
