The mirror on the wall, once gleaming with promise, now reflected a dimmed image, shadowed by the weight of unfulfilled desires.

Longing hung heavy in the air, a suffocating reminder of the paths not taken. A single sheet of music lay crumpled on the floor, its notes now forgotten. It was a symphony of a life that might have been, a melody lost in the hush of regret.

There is no escape from its grasp
