In twilight's hush, where shadows play
A whispered tale of grandeur fades away
A legacy of splendor, lost to time's decay
A glory that once shone bright, now dwindled to gray

The echoes of a bygone era's might
Haunt the halls of memory, a flickering light
That once illuminated all, with radiant beam
Now struggles to stay lit, a dying ember's dream

The faded glory of a love that's lost its way
A beauty that's been tarnished, by the patina of decay
The whispers of a name, that once was on everyone's lips
Now a mere footnote, in the annals of forgotten tips

The crumbling columns, of a temple once divine
The shattered remnants, of a dream that's lost its shine
The silence of a stage, where stars once shone so bright
Now a hollow echo, of a fleeting, fading light

Yet still we hold on, to the memories of old
The ghosts of glory past, that refuse to grow cold
For in their faded light, a spark still glows within
A reminder of the beauty, that once was, and could be again

So let us cherish, these echoes of the past
And hold them close, like a lover's tender grasp
For in their faded glory, we find a beauty still
A bittersweet reminder, of what once was, and what could be fulfilled.
