Without me

Without me, the world goes on its way,

No pause, no halt, no sigh to betray.

The sun still rises, the moon takes its flight,

Birds sing their songs in the soft, fading light.

Without me, the seasons still turn their page,

But inside my heart, there's an eternal cage.

Memories linger, like ghosts in the night,

Of moments we shared, now out of sight.

Without me, the laughter of friends may ring,

But in the echo of silence, I'll always cling.

A void in the tapestry, a missing thread,

A story unfinished, left unsaid.

Without me, the world moves on, it's true,

But within my soul, I'll carry you.

A chapter has ended, the final decree,

Yet your memory lingers, forever with me.
