In the silence of the night, shadows creep,
Whispers of pain, in the dark they seep,
A heart once whole, now shattered and torn,
In the quiet hours, it silently mourns.

Memories linger like ghosts in the air,
Each one a dagger, a reminder of despair,
The echo of laughter now a haunting refrain,
In the depths of sorrow, I feel the pain.

Tears fall like rain, a storm within,
Washing away the remnants of sin,
Yet the ache remains, a constant ache,
In the ruins of love, my soul does quake.

But even in darkness, a glimmer of light,
A promise of dawn after the longest night,
For though I am broken, I will mend,
And find the strength to love again.
