Eternal Absence

In the quiet of my room, I feel your absence An empty space where laughter once danced Your picture on the wall, a silent testament To the love we shared, now a distant lament I close my eyes, but you're not there In the whispers of the night, I find despair A longing deep within, a pain so unfair For the one I miss beyond compare It's not the farewell that breaks me inside But the eternal absence where you once resided I stretch my hands to the empty skies Grasping at shadows, the void where love lies I roam the paths we once walked together Each place, each step, heavy with tether Memories flicker, a once bright flame Now only the wind whispers your name I listen for your laughter in the air But all I catch is the cold, empty stare Of a world that continues without a care For the void in my heart, nothing can repair It's not the farewell that breaks me inside But the eternal absence where you once resided I stretch my hands to the empty skies Grasping at shadows, the void where love lies Sometimes I swear I can hear your voice Whispering through the noise, a distant choice But it's just a dream, a cruel tease In this eternal absence, I find no ease The hardest part is living each day With your absence guiding my way In every sunrise, in every night's decline It's your eternal absence that will forever be mine
