Forgotten Kindness

Forgotten gentle kindness,  

days blur, nights sigh,  

I run on empty promises,  

never asking why.

A to-do list heavy,  

rest crossed out each week,  

I give and give,  

but my spirit grows weak.

Lessons of love left unread,  

quiet needs, never spoken—  

In the mirror’s tired glance,  

see a soul softly broken.
