In shadows of silence, my heart's weakened sway,
A constant sorrow grips, as thoughts of you hold sway.
Even amid pursuits, you emerge, unbidden,
How can I escape this pain, so deeply hidden?

Your departure leaves me shattered, broken glass,
In solitude, tears cascade, a river so vast.
I believed in strength, in resilience untold,
Yet, in solitude, your memory takes hold.

When will this ache, like your absence, depart?
Alone, I ponder, my wounded, yearning heart.
Thoughts linger like echoes, refusing to flee,
When will I find solace, and truly be free?
