Longing After You

In your absence, emptiness abides

A silence so stark, it echoes through my tides

Life's tempest rages on, a never-ending sea

Without you, my shore is desolate, devoid of glee

Seasons blend, a never-ending summer's sway

Yet, in your presence, green hills bloom along the way

My springtime dreams wither, like flowers without dew

Fragrance fades, thorns remain, roses perish, too

Oh, queen of my heart, how I yearn for you

To turn back time, to revive the love we once knew

To live once more, to love again, with you by my side

To bask in your radiance, my heart's only pride

In your absence, I search the horizon's bend

For a glimpse of your love, my heart's only friend

The clock ticks on, a relentless, unforgiving pace

Yet, my love for you remains, a constant, sacred space.
