I've lost the joy that once lit my days,
Drowning in sorrow, adrift in life's maze.
Since you left, days stretch long and drear,
I force a smile, yet it rings insincere.
How can they pretend you're no longer here?
Expecting normalcy without you near.
Your absence, a burden my soul cannot bear,
Empty days, a relentless despair,
The world moves on, yet I'm frozen in the past,
Searching for solace, peace in memories that I hope will forever last.
