After you left, only your shadow stayed, Each page I write bleeds with your name. They say no one dies of love’s absence, But I know—I stopped living the day you were gone. Your image lingers, etched upon my soul, A tender portrait time can never erase. Every memory breaks me quietly, Every silence is filled with your voice. I have befriended solitude, And tied my heart to pen and paper. For a wife, her husband is the whole universe— And without you, mine has turned to dust. What joy can matter, When every breath aches for you? So I pray to the heavens each night: Call me home, Let me rest where you are, For even eternity feels too long without you. — Your Wife

The Silence After You
After you left, only your shadow stayed, Each page I write bleeds with your name. They say no one dies of love’s absence, But I know—I stopped living the day you were gone. Your image lingers, etched upon my soul, A tender portrait time can never erase. Every memory breaks me quietly, Every silence is filled with your voice. I have befriended solitude, And tied my heart to pen and paper. For a wife, her husband is the whole universe— And without you, mine has turned to dust. What joy can matter, When every breath aches for you? So I pray to the heavens each night: Call me home, Let me rest where you are, For even eternity feels too long without you. — Your Wife
💫 A grieving wife pours her soul into pages, where every memory is a wound, every silence echoes with love lost, and every prayer longs for reunion beyond life.
