The light that once shone so brightly within me has dimmed, fading into the golden hues of my memories. My eyes are closed, not in peace, but in silent mourning for what was lost, for what can never return. My heart, though still beating, feels heavy with the weight of battles fought, of love that slipped through my fingers like sand. The golden warmth that surrounds me is a cruel reminder of what I once cherished, now out of reach, forever distant... and I am left to carry the sorrow alone.
