I Will Rise
The silence feels heavier than diamond or stone,
A sad, hollow echo where love had once shone.
The nights are still long, and my tears always fall,
And grief paints its shadows across every wall.
Yet in this ever aching night,
A flicker glows. A softer light.
For sorrow, though it bends my frame,
Cannot erase love’s steady flame.
The heart remembers, fierce and true,
The bond that time cannot undo.
Though loss has carved its ruthless scar,
It shows me just how strong we are.
So let me grieve, but let me grow,
Through shattered ground new roots still show.
And when tomorrow calls my name,
I’ll rise again, though not the same.
For hope is born where pain resides,
And healing blooms where love abides.
The dark may linger, but I see…
A brighter day still waits for me.
