In the silent whispers of the night,
Dreams once vivid now take flight,
Promises broken, left to decay,
Hopes and aspirations, swept away.

The stars that once so brightly gleamed,
Now flicker in a distant dream,
Beneath the weight of unmet desires,
Passions dim, extinguished fires.

A heart once full of fervent zeal,
Now numbed by wounds that never heal,
In the echoes of a lonely cry,
Disappointment’s tears never dry.

Yet in this shadowed, somber song,
Resilience whispers, “Stay strong,”
For even in the darkest night,
Dawn will come, bringing light.
