Pain

In your absence, my heart aches,

My soul is shattered, my spirit breaks,

I long for your touch, your warmth, your smile,

But you're gone, and I'm alone in this trial.

The pain of separation is hard to bear,

It's a burden I must carry, a cross to bear,

I miss you more with each passing day,

And wish you were here, in every way.

I cry myself to sleep at night,

And wake up to another lonely fight,

But I hold on to the hope, the love we shared,

And pray that someday, we'll be together, repaired.
