In the barren expanse where love should dwell,
Echoes of yearning, a desolate spell.
Deprivation gnaws at the core of the soul,
A silent ache, an unfathomable toll.
Like wilted petals, hearts wither and strain,
Longing for warmth, amidst the cold disdain.
In shadows cast by love's elusive light,
Loneliness reigns, a relentless night.
Devoid of affection, a void deep and wide,
In the depths of solitude, hearts silently abide.
Yet in this emptiness, a flicker remains,
Hope's gentle whisper, amidst love's chains.
