In the silence of the midnight hour,
Shadows dance on walls so bare.
A heart that’s heavy, lost its power,
In the depths of dark despair.

Echoes of laughter, faint and distant,
Memories of a time once bright.
Now replaced by thoughts insistent,
That wrap the soul in endless night.

Loneliness, a constant companion,
Whispers secrets of the past.
In the mirror, a sad reflection,
Of a hope that couldn’t last.

Yet within this storm of sorrow,
A seed of strength begins to grow.
For even in the darkest hollow,
A spark of light will always show.
