Absence

I’m waiting for the sun to invade my cold skin, to melt away the emptiness of the lulling darkness that crosses each hair on my body. It swirls and fills the spaces that should be wrapped around your grasps, leaving me yearning for your touch.

The music rips inside my ears, the lyrics scattering inside my veins, consuming me with my heart beating at the same rhythm. Each note and chord strummed sends waves of nostalgic whispers, licking my tongue with the bitter-sweet truth of our love lost.

I close my eyes and let the warmth of the sun wash over me, hoping it will heal the ache in my soul. But as I wait, I can't help but feel the absence of your presence, the longing for your embrace. And so, I wait, for the sun to bring me back to life, to fill the void left by your absence.
