I searched for you 
In the darkness, 
I felt your soul 
But you were 
Missing.

You were gone 
And my whole 
World felt empty, 
Only the echo 
Of your soul 
Remains.

Among the ruins 
And the rubble 
I searched for you
In the darkness, 
I searched this ruined 
City bombed and scarred.

But you were gone forever,
Bombed, smashed and 
Destroyed and only 
Pieces of you remained.

I have the echo 
Of your soul and the 
Sound of your voice 
That will travel with me
Until the end of my days.
