In the depths of night, where silence weeps,
A heart lies broken, yearning for release.
Shadows stretch and twist in mournful sweeps,
As hope fades slowly, piece by piece.

The weight of sorrow, heavy on the chest,
Dreams once bright now dimmed with despair.
A soul adrift, longing for rest,
In a world that seems so cruel and unfair.

Each breath a struggle, each step a chore,
The light of joy feels so far away.
Lost in the darkness, forevermore,
A fragile heart begins to fray.

Yet somewhere deep within the endless night,
A flicker of hope might start to glow.
For even in the darkest plight,
A spark of strength can gently grow.
