ReTIRemeNT

The hour draws near,
With every note, I gave my all, clear
Isn’t it time to embrace the silent night?
No soul lingers for my musical light
In the quiet shade, name unknown,
To myself, my echoes alone
Was this the sound you meant to portray?
Perhaps it's best kept hidden away
Every effort feels astray,
To their indifference, I'm merely gray
"Is this music or mere sound?"
Perhaps it's me, lost and unbound
I'll recede, with grace retreat,
In this void, our pulses don’t meet
No more vigor, no call to repeat,
Once fiery passion, now a heartbeat incomplete
Did my dreams soar too high, beyond my reach?
Was I chasing the unattainable, a distant beach?
Many a tune, cries manifold,
Yet they drift, stories left untold
Did you ever resonate, ever breach the lea?
With stronger ties, could you have made them see?
Every effort feels astray,
To their indifference, I'm merely gray
"Is this music or mere sound?"
Perhaps it's me, lost and unbound
I'll recede, with grace retreat,
In this void, our pulses don’t meet
No more vigor, no call to repeat,
Once fiery passion, now a heartbeat incomplete
Whispers linger in the breeze,
Change or stay, hearts at ease.
I must reflect,
This stillness, a moment to introspect.
Time to lay down my musical spear,
Grateful for the solace, year after year
Though it didn't resonate far and wide,
It remains, my soul’s treasured guide
The curtain falls, adieu,
Grateful for moments, memories true
Paths diverge, the journey's end in view,
With cherished echoes, life I’ll continue
