“dark poem about missing soul mate”

In the hush where midnight’s sorrow swells,  
An empty ache behind the eyes,  
I walk alone through hollow shells  
Of memories where your spirit lies.

Shadows bend along the splintered floor,  
Echoes whisper with faded grace—  
Every room becomes a door  
That opens only to your face.

Your laughter, like a distant star,  
Glints in the gloom I cannot breach,  
While longing learns just who we are:  
One half lost, and one left to reach.

No trembling lantern burns the dark,  
No sky reveals a hopeful sign.  
Still, every silence bears your mark—  
A longing stitched to blood and spine.

I stretch in sleep, but frost is near;  
Your name, a ghost upon my lips—  
A wish cast out for you to hear—  
Falls silent in eclipse.

Yet in this ache, this veiled embrace,  
A shadowed bond does not let go.  
Though fate may sever time and space,  
My soul, unfinished, knows your shadow.
