Example Poem/Song Using Absence

In the stillness of the night, I feel the absence of your light. Your cadence, once so near and true, Now fades away like morning dew.

I’m left with memories and dreams, And the consequences of what it means To be without the one I love, A weight that’s heavy like a glove.

But in this absence, I find a balance, A way to cope with the silence. I’ll enhance the beauty of the stars, And feel the beat of my heart, like a cadence from afar.

For though your presence is defense, Against the demons of my mind, I’ll learn to stand on my own two feet, And leave this emptiness behind.

And one day, when we meet again, I’ll cherish every moment until the end. For in the absence, I’ve found my way, And the consequences no longer hold sway.
