In shadows cast by silent tears,
A heart once bright, now disappears,
The morning sun, it rose the same,
Yet everything has changed, and pain’s to blame.
We laughed together, dreams in tow,
Shared secrets whispered soft and low,
But in her smile, a storm concealed,
A battle fought, a life unsealed.
I wish I’d seen the signs that spoke,
The weight of words that felt like smoke,
The restless nights, the heavy sighs,
The hidden hurt behind her eyes.
Now echoes haunt the empty space,
A vacant chair, a forgotten grace,
I search for answers in the haze,
But find only the dark, the maze.
Oh, friend of mine, in sorrow steeped,
How cruel the world, how deep the sleep,
You’ve slipped away, our laughter’s ghost,
In memories, we cherish most.
I’ll carry you, though far you roam,
In whispered winds, you’ll find your home,
And though the night is vast and wide,
Your spirit dances by my side.
So rest, sweet friend, in peace profound,
In love’s embrace, forever found,
Though yesterday took you from my sight,
In every tear, you shine so bright.
