When love's warm touch forsakes my weary soul,
A hollow echoes through life's vacant space,
Memories of joy now taunt and make me whole,
Regret's heavy chains entwine my every pace.

The ghosts of laughter echo in moonlight's glow,
Forgotten scents that linger, tears unshed,
Each heartbeat resonates with the ache I know,
Longing lingers like a bittersweet goodbye.

In darkness, shadows dance upon the wall,
Reminding me of love's extinguished flame,
The silence screams your absence, heard by all,
My heart, a tomb where love's sweet dreams remain.

Yet still, I cling to love's departing sigh,
And weep for what could never be denied.
