Echoes of Absence (Short version)
In the silence, my world falls apart, Why forget me, am I not in your heart? Dark thoughts invade, a lover's fear, Drowning in shadows, you're not near.
Days pass, a ghost in this love's strife, Then you return, confessing a silent fight. Depression's cloak lifts, innocence in your face, My life reignites, love's saving grace.
Echoes of Absence (Long version)
In shadows cast by silence deep, My world unravels, secrets keep. When your reply eludes my plea, My heart questions, "Why forget me?"
In echoes of your absence, I fear, A tale of neglect, crystal clear. Am I not the soul you cherish, Why does my presence seem to perish?
Dark thoughts, like storm clouds, gather, In my mind, they swirl and tether. The fear of love's forsaken bloom, Isolation's suffocating gloom.
I ponder if another takes my place, In the canvas of your heart's embrace. The dance of doubts, a haunting waltz, My spirit weakened, caught in its faults.
Days pass, a somber, lonely plight, Until you emerge from the depth of night. You confess, with eyes so sad, A battle fought, a soul gone mad.
Depression's grip, a heavy chain, All the anger, the doubt, the pain, Evaporates, like morning dew, In your innocent, sorrowful view.
I surrender to your broken grace, As sunlight filters through the space. The storm retreats, a calming sea, My life reignites, once more, with glee.
In the ebb and flow of this love's tide, I find strength, no more to hide. For in your return, my soul's revival, A testament to love's survival.
