Echos in the void

 In the void's embrace, where stars burn out,

Our love was a whisper, a fleeting shout.

You a shadow in the cosmic play,

Embraced the end, in his own stark way.

No gods, no myths, in his final breath,

She met the void, the eternal death.

Life, a fleeting spark, a moment's blaze,

In its brief fire, we spent our days.

Chance brought us close, in the endless night,

In time's cold expanse, a brief respite.

Ten years, a blink in the universe's eye,

Under indifferent stars, we lived our lie.

Now she's gone, into nothingness' fold,

Her absence a void, dark and cold.

No reunion in some ethereal sphere,

Just the silence of the cosmos, vast and clear.

In the grand emptiness, where we drift apart,

Our love but a dream, in the cosmic heart.

In the end, alone, we each must roam,

In the universe's void, forever home.
