Beneath the neon lights, I wander lost,
A soul enshrouded, paying the cost.
In darkened alleys, shadows softly creep,
Whispering secrets, promises they keep.

Each moment fleeting, a ghostly embrace,
A dance with demons, a perilous chase.
Eyes dimmed by sorrow, dreams turned to ash,
The needle’s sting, a cruel, silent lash.

Memories fade, like echoes in the night,
A heart once bright, now devoid of light.
In this abyss, I search for a sign,
A glimmer of hope, a line to define.

Yet through the gloom, a voice softly calls,
A whisper of freedom, as the darkness falls.
With every step, a flicker of grace,
A journey to healing, a new dawn to face.
