Echoes of Longing

category

In the realm of dreams, we wove a tapestry so fine,
A future rich with adventures, a love divine.
Years of promises, of laughter and of tears,
Now lie in shattered fragments, through all the passing years.

You quit our love, without a warning or a sigh,
Retired into the shadows, where death’s dark wings lie.
Leaving me with emptiness, a hollowed-out heart,
A soul that’s lost its anchor, torn apart.

What can I do without you, my guiding star?
You made me dependent on your love, near and far.
Your support, my shelter from life’s raging sea,
Now I’m left to navigate, lost, without thee.

Memories haunt me, like a ghostly refrain,
Reminding me of joy, of love, of sweet, sweet pain.
I reach for your hand, but find only thin air,
A longing that’s suffocating, a grief beyond compare.

In this untidy room, where shadows dance and play,
I’m left to pick up pieces of a love that’s gone astray.
Your picture smiles at me, a bittersweet reminder,
Of what we had, of what we’ll never find again, my heart’s surrender.

Oh, how I yearn for your touch, your gentle, loving care,
But death’s dark arms have taken you, leaving me with nothing to share.
I’m left to face the silence, the emptiness, the pain,
A heart that’s broken, shattered, like fallen summer rain.

Yet, even in death, your love remains,
A flame that flickers still, a warm, golden light that sustains.
Though you’re gone, your memory stays near,
A bittersweet reminder, of the love we held dear.

In this darkness, I’ll hold on to what we had,
Cherish every moment, every laugh, every tear we’ve ever had.
For in the end, it’s not the years we live, but the life we live in those years,
And with you, my love, we lived a lifetime, through all our laughter and tears.
