Echoes of You

It's been years since we parted,

Yet I feel you in every space.

Wherever I go, you linger,

Your absence leaves a hollow trace.

I can shape faces with my fingers,

But none can match your embrace.

Was it madness, this longing?

Did you feel the same heart race?

Sorrow wrapped me in shadows,

I hugged the memories tight.

Those eyes I kissed in silence,

Now void of love, lost from sight.

If you’re my breath, I’m gasping,

Tell me how to live without you.

Each night is a restless whisper,

My soul aches for what was true.

Where are you, my sad heart's mirror?

Countless stars have slipped away.

In every tear, I see your face,

But love has become a game we play.

I gave my heart without caution,

Now love's ghost haunts my days.

If you are gone, how can I breathe?

Tell me how to find my way.
