Emptiness

In the silence of my world, echoes of loss,
Afraid of losing her, my heart bore the cost.
As she fell for another, my spirit grew weak,
A void now consumes me, words I struggle to speak.

Her absence lingers, a haunting refrain,
A hollow ache within, a constant pain. Empty spaces echo her laughter and smile,
Remnants of a love that once made life worthwhile.

In the wake of her absence, emptiness descends,
A void in my soul, where her love once transcends.
