LONGING'S AGONY by Bhengu SS

Death holds no fear, but loss does sting,
For without you, life's essence takes wing.
Like the sun's longing for the moon's gentle glow,
I miss you, and my heart's rhythm slows.
Your touch ignites a fire that never fades,
A flame that flickers when clouds of absence shade.
You've grown on me like a tender vine,
Parting from you brings an ache that's truly mine.

What is love if not a sacrifice so true?
What is life if not a gift I'd give to you?
Ask me what it's like to live without a heart,
And I'll tell you, it's a desolate, barren start.
Life without you is like walking on shattered shells,
Each step a painful reminder of love that fell.
The world's vibrancy dulls, and my heart loses its beat,
The breeze whispers sorrow, and my eyes weep at your feet.
I'm left a weeping willow, forever bent and grey,
A testament to love's absence, night and day.
My heart, once full of life, now falters and fades,
A melancholy echo of love's sweet, sweet shades.

I burn for you, a dying star,
A heart's desire, a soul's searing flame.
