In the Shadow of Absence

In the shadow of absence Each day unfurls like a petal, and with it, your absence deepens, a familiar ache, woven into my bones. The gifts I made, now shrouded in dust, rest silently in my closet, echoes of laughter and whispered dreams, frozen in time. Your name dances on my lips, a melody trapped in a longing heart, where love remains, steadfast and bold, a flame that defies the dark. Even the stars seem dimmer, lost in the shadow of what was. I walk through the corridors of memory, each step a testament to what I’ve lost, and I wonder— if death could bind us closer, would you hear my heart’s silent plea, or would the distance grow, an ocean I cannot cross? As long as I breathe, I will carry you, each heartbeat a promise, woven into the fabric of my soul, an everlasting love, etched against the canvas of time, melodie, my endless refrain.
