In a hollow room where silence sways,
Echoes linger in a dim-lit haze.
A love, once warm, now chilled by time,
A distance vast, a subtle mime.

Fingers brush, but never entwine,
Hearts adrift, in separate rhyme.
The bed, once shared, now vast and cold,
Desire’s ember, slowly grows old.

Longing for touch, a tender caress,
A yearning plea, in silent distress.
A void within, an ache profound,
A love unspoken, nowhere found.

Seeking solace in the quiet night,
Hoping for a spark, a gentle light.
Yearning for a connection true,
In this sea of solitude, so blue.

Oh, for someone to share this space,
To feel alive, in love’s embrace.
Loneliness reigns, an unwelcome friend,
In this sexless tale that seems to never end.
