In the quiet corners of a restless mind,
Shadows whisper secrets long untold,
Where echoes of silence softly bind,
A heart once warm, now growing cold.

Beneath the weight of unseen tears,
Dreams dissolve in the midnight rain,
As loneliness feeds on growing fears,
Painting sorrow in endless pain.

The walls close in with each silent sigh,
A heavy cloak of despair unfurls,
As hope becomes a distant cry,
Lost in a world of forgotten pearls.

Yet in the darkest depths, a flicker gleams,
A fragile light in a realm so dreary,
Whispering softly through fractured dreams,
That even in shadows, one need not be weary.
