In the silence of the midnight hour,
Whispers of shadows softly call,
A heart once vibrant now turns sour,
Loneliness builds its towering wall.

The moonlight casts a somber glow,
On dreams that faded with the dawn,
In the quiet, sadness starts to grow,
A life once bright, now withdrawn.

Echoes of laughter long since passed,
Reside in corners of the mind,
Memories slip through fingers fast,
Leaving only emptiness behind.

Yet in the depths of this sad night,
Hope flickers like a distant star,
For even in the darkest plight,
The dawn awaits, never far.
