Whispers in the night,

Night's cold embrace tightens,

Tightens around my heart,

Heart aches with your absence,

Absence like a void,

Void of all but pain,

Pain that echoes deep,

Deep within my soul,

Soul yearning for a touch,

Touch now lost to time,

Time marches on,

On without you here,

Here in the silence,

Silence filled with tears,

Tears that fall like rain,

Rain that never ends.

Ends our beginnings too,

Too hard to face alone,

Alone in the dark,

Dark as my thoughts,

Thoughts of you still linger,

Linger like a ghost,

Ghost of what we could have had,

Had I not let you slip away.

Away into the shadows,

Shadows of the past.

Past love lives on forever,

Forever in my heart.

Heart holds onto hope,

Hope for one last dream,

Dream of you returning,

Returning to my arms.

Arms that hold the emptiness,

Emptiness so vast,

Vast as the ocean,

Ocean of my grief,

Grief that never ends,

Ends the beauty in all my days.

Days that once were bright,

Bright as the sound of your laughter.

Laughter that's now just memory,

Memory fades to night,

Night returns to whispers,

Whispers turned to echoes,

Echoes turn to ashes.

Ashes turn to dust,

Dust that suffocates me slowly,

Slowly draining all my light.
