In the echoes of a quiet night,
Where laughter once danced in gentle light,
Now silence reigns, a haunting tune,
Beneath a pale and distant moon.

Walls that held a thousand dreams,
Now cradle only silent screams,
Memories linger in the dust,
Of broken bonds and shattered trust.

Hearts that once beat in harmony,
Strain against the chains of agony,
Seeking solace in the past,
Where love and warmth were meant to last.

Yet through the cracks, a hope does gleam,
A fragile thread, a hopeful dream,
That one day, love will find its way,
To mend the heart and light the day.
