I wake to find the air is still,
The space you filled, forever chill.
Your laughter fades, a distant hum,
And every day, I come undone.
The bed is cold where you once lay,
Your warmth, your breath, has slipped away.
In empty rooms, I speak your name,
But silence answers, just the same.
The world goes on, but I stand still,
A hollow heart, an aching will.
The sun has dimmed, the sky turned grey,
Since you, my love, were led away.
I search the streets where we would roam,
But every step feels far from home.
And in the night, when shadows creep,
I fall into a restless sleep.
If time could heal, then let it be—
But time’s a ghost that tortures me.
For though you’re gone, the pain remains,
A love now lost, replaced with chains.
I carry on, though I don’t know how,
Without your hand to guide me now.
The world is darker, cold, unkind—
You took the light I’ll never find.
