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.
