In the shadows of my heart, a void lies deep,
Where echoes of your absence endlessly weep.
A soul once intertwined with mine, now torn apart,
Leaving scars etched in pain, a bleeding heart.
Memories like thorns, they pierce and sting,
A bittersweet melody, a broken wing.
Longing for a touch that once felt so right,
Yet the ache of your absence cuts like a knife.
