Eclipsed Heart

In the hollow stillness of night,  
Whispers of your laughter linger near,  
Each echo pierces the weary soul,  
A dagger thrusts within my chest,  
A wound that bleeds an endless ache,  
The world fades into shades of gray.  

Dreams once bright, now dimmed and lost,  
Memories swirl like autumn leaves,  
In the depths of sorrow I dwell,  
A void echoing your absence still,  
Love's sweet song now a haunting ache,  
Without you, each moment drags on.  

Time bends beneath this heavy weight,  
The sun retreats, shadows grow long,  
Hope flickers like a candle's flame,  
Loneliness tightens like a noose,  
Yet in this pain, your spirit lives,  
Forever cherished, forever missed.
