Forever Lost

Your absence is a hollowed-out space, A cavernous emptiness that echoes your name. Every breath I take, a reminder you're gone, A pain that gnaws, a wound that won't heal strong. I wander these streets, searching for a glimpse, A fleeting shadow of what we once held tight. But like a mirage, it vanishes in air, Leaving me with nothing, but this desperate prayer. Oh, how I ache to turn back time, To hold you close, to feel your heartbeat mine. But fate's cruel hand, it seems, has other plans, And I'm left with tears, and this shattered heart's demands. In dreams, I see your smile, a radiant beam, A moment's peace, before the anguish screams. I wake up to tears, a sorrow so profound, A grief that threatens to consume me, drowning me down.
