Memories

In the shadowed corners of a broken home,

Where love once bloomed, now memories roam.

A wife's unfaithful steps, a husband's heart to rend,

Fragments of trust shattered, unable to mend.

Her deceit, a dagger twisting in his chest,

Bidding her depart, granting her request.

But in the hollowed silence, her ghost lingers near,

His thoughts a turbulent storm, a tempest of fear.

In the echoing chambers of his anguished mind,

Whispers of what was, now a ghostly bind.

His father's sage counsel, a beacon through the night,

"Cease the dalliance with ghosts, embrace the light."

Fleeting echoes of affection, now fading into mist,

The husband's heart, a battlefield, love's final tryst.

Letting go of the past, he dares to cast off sorrow's chain,

Embracing the promise of a new dawn's reign.
