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.
