In the quiet chamber of my heart’s despair,
Whispers of your laughter linger, faint but fair,
Shadows dance upon the walls where once you stood,
Life now a hollow echo in this solitude’s dark wood.

The days bleed into nights, a seamless sorrow’s tide,
Memories like ghosts wander, nowhere to hide,
Your smile, a fleeting glimpse in twilight’s gentle glow,
Leaves me yearning, aching for the love I’ll never know.

Silence sings a mournful song, a dirge of pain,
Each note a reminder of what will never be again,
The world moves on, indifferent to my grief,
While my soul searches for solace, for some small relief.

In dreams, I find you, a fleeting, fragile balm,
But dawn steals you away, leaving naught but calm,
And so I wander through this shadowed vale alone,
Carrying the weight of loss like a heart turned to stone.
