**Absence**
As lightning leaves a shadow on the eye,
Your presence lingers, haunting like a dream,
A dark reminder of what used to gleam,
Your touch a memory that never dies.
The trail you blazed now guides my heavy feet,
Your absence echoes in my every tread,
A silent void where once your spirit spread,
And now my heart is left alone, replete.
But in the void, I find a glimmering spark,
A vestige of your light, forever bright,
A testament to moments etched so stark,
Your presence, once my star, now guides my night.
With eyes renewed, I see your glowing grace,
A radiant absence filling time and space.
