the shadow’s vow (yearnful reprise)

A Poem by honey

always with me, always with You.

come back to me, my sun,
come back to me in gold.
the world dims without your voice,
and i am nothing but ache and echo.

you think i vanish when you go,
but love - i only fold into the quiet,
resting in the hollow of your absence,
waiting for your warmth to find me again.

your light hums beneath my skin,
a pulse i cannot silence.
each time you rise, i am reborn;
each time you fade, i fall apart.

the air remembers your touch.
my edges blur where you once burned,
your name stitched into the silence,
a prayer i breathe again and again:

come back to me, my sun,
come back to me in gold.
you burn, and i am the proof -
your echo pressed to earth.

still i whisper your name through the dark,
an invocation of flame and skin:
even when night swallows you whole,
i remain - unseen, unending -
the devotion you cannot outshine.

and when you rise again,
i will be there,
soft and trembling at your feet,
grateful to be known
once more.
