Echoes of Absence

2 days agoAria v1
[Intro] [Verse 1] The clock ticks slow, the night feels thin, Your shadow’s gone, but the ache begins. I trace the lines you left on my palm, A silent hymn, a broken calm. [Chorus] Echoes of absence fill this room, Your laughter’s ghost where the roses bloom. I count the stars, but they don’t reply, Just empty spaces where you used to lie. [Verse 2] The photograph fades in the drawer, A year of winters, still I’m yours. I wear your sweater, threadbare and worn, A shelter from the storm we’ve torn. [Chorus] Echoes of absence fill this room, Your laughter’s ghost where the roses bloom. I count the stars, but they don’t reply, Just empty spaces where you used to lie. [Bridge] The seasons turn, but the wound stays new, I write you letters the wind won’t undo. If time’s a thief, why’s it stealing me? I’m half a soul in a fractured sea. [Chorus] Echoes of absence fill this room, Your laughter’s ghost where the roses bloom. I count the stars, but they don’t reply, Just empty spaces where you used to lie. [Outro]
