In the alley’s silent sigh, shadows play,
A whisper calls with promises untold,
Velvet dreams in a fleeting array,
The soul’s embrace begins to unfold.

Glimmers of euphoria dance in the night,
A tapestry woven with strands of pain,
Moments of flight in a fragile light,
Yet chains remain, binding like rain.

Memories fade in the fog’s gentle grip,
Lost in the haze of a fleeting desire,
A journey embarked on a ghostly ship,
Sailing through storms with a heart of fire.

Awakened by the dawn’s tender embrace,
A choice to rise from the depths below,
To find the light in the darkest place,
And let the seeds of hope begin to grow.
