Ever Since You Went Away

Ever Since You Went Away

I don’t know why—but ever since you went away,

The day grew heavy, burdened, gray.

The morning dragged its feet like stone,

And time forgot to be my own.

The sun rose slow with a tired face,

Its golden beams lost all their grace.

It peered through clouds with hollow eyes—

A sky that knew too many goodbyes.

And yesterday...

Ever since you walked away,

The twilight carried sorrow’s weight.

It sat upon the window’s frame,

And whispered softly your sweet name.

The evening air, once light and free,

Now trembled with uncertainty.

Even the breeze held back its breath,

As though the world had tasted death—

Ever since you went away.

---

The night, too, wept behind the stars,

Its sobs concealed in moonlit scars.

The silence cried through every wall,

As shadows danced in empty halls.

And people asked with quiet sighs,

“What happened here behind these eyes?”

As though they felt some distant ache,

A tremor they could not forsake.

They didn’t know the cause or flame,

But something vanished, left no name—

Yes, something cracked beyond repair,

And all was dim, and all was bare—

Ever since you went away.

---

Why does the world no longer shine?

Why do the hours cease to align?

Why does this heart now beat in stone,

Cold and distant, all alone?

Desires that once reached to the skies

Now fold within like quiet sighs.

Wishes, once so full of light,

Have dimmed beneath this endless night.

Hope itself has found a tomb—

A corner in this silent room.

Love, which once lit every hour,

Now fades like wilted, fallen flowers—

All since you went away.

---

The dreams we built now float like dust,

And every promise turns to rust.

The road ahead has lost its shape,

No path to joy, no means escape.

My goals, my aims, all disappeared,

The future blurred, the past grew near.

This life no longer feels like mine—

It lost its soul, its spark, its shine—

Ever since you walked away.

---

I haven’t looked into the mirror,

Afraid of seeing someone dimmer.

Someone lost, without a trace

Of the light you used to place

In my eyes, in my smile—

Gone, it’s all been gone a while.

What is grief, I truly know,

For I have felt its endless snow.

A frost upon the soul that stays,

That blankets even summer days.

And this I learned, this truth, this pain—

All since you left, in quiet rain.

---

Come back, if even just in dreams,

For reality splits at the seams.

The hours are strangers I do not know,

The nights are rivers without flow.

The stars above have ceased to speak,

The moon has turned her glowing cheek.

My heart no longer dares to play—

It merely counts the hours away.

Come back, return from wherever you roam,

This heart no longer feels like home.

Come back and breathe this silence through,

Because nothing makes sense without you.

---

**Ever since you went away...**

The world has knelt and ceased to sway.

The music hushed, the lights went dim,

The laughter sank, the joy grew thin.

Ever since...

You vanished into skies unknown,

I've been a shell, I've been alone.

So come, beloved, if only in a sigh,

Before another tear runs dry.

Let me feel your breath again,

Let me forget this endless pain—

That began...

Ever since you went away.
