In the quiet corners of my mind,
Shadows dance in silent refrain,
Whispers of a time left behind,
Etched in the heart, a lingering pain.

Nightmares weave through sleepless nights,
Memories like shards of broken glass,
The past a ghost in the dimmest light,
Haunting the present, refusing to pass.

Eyes that once sparkled with dreams,
Now hold the weight of untold fears,
A soul stitched together at the seams,
Drowning in an ocean of unseen tears.

Yet in the darkness, a glimmer remains,
A hope that tomorrow will bring light,
Healing the wounds, easing the strains,
Turning shadows into day from night.
