Certainly, here's a metaphoric journey in the form of a song: (Verse 1) In the labyrinth of whispers, I wandered, lost, Where shadows danced upon the frost, Seeking the melody of your elusive song, But the echoes whispered, "She's been gone too long." (Verse 2) Through the thicket of memories, I tread, Each step a thorn, each memory a thread, But the tapestry of time, woven thin and frayed, Revealed only the echoes of promises betrayed. (Verse 3) Beneath the canopy of stars, I sought your trace, In constellations, your absence I embrace, But the night sky remained a silent choir, With no whispered secrets to inspire. (Verse 4) Down the river of dreams, I sailed alone, Where the currents of longing ceaselessly moan, But the banks held no trace of your fleeting smile, Just the echoes of longing, stretching mile by mile. (Chorus) Where have you been, in the depths of the night? Lost in the shadows, out of sight? In the caverns of time, where dreams convene, Tell me, my love, where have you been? (Verse 5) Through the forest of illusions, I made my way, Where the trees whispered secrets, night and day, But the secrets they held were but whispers of air, Leaving me stranded in despair. (Verse 6) In the garden of hope, I sought your bloom, But the petals wilted in the impending gloom, Leaving me to wander, aimlessly roam, In search of the place you call home. (Verse 7) Across the desert of silence, I journeyed far, Where the sands whispered tales of a distant star, But the mirage of your presence, a cruel illusion, Left me stranded in this barren confusion. (Chorus) Where have you been, in the depths of my soul? Lost in the echoes, beyond my control? In the symphony of silence, where echoes convene, Tell me, my love, where have you been? (Bridge) In the symphony of silence, I'll find my way, Where echoes linger, night and day, In the depths of my heart, I'll search and seek, For the answers that elude and mystique. (Outro) So, tell me, my love, where have you been? In the echoes of silence, where dreams begin, For in the whispers of the night, I'll hear your plea, And in the depths of my soul, you'll find me.
