In the quiet whispers of a darkened room,
Lies a heart that beats in silent despair,
Bound by chains of love that bruise,
Seeking freedom in a world unaware.

The facade of smiles hides the storm within,
Echoes of promises that turned to dust,
Words once tender now sharp as knives,
Trust shattered, replaced by rust.

In the night, tears fall like rain,
Dreams once vibrant now fade away,
Yet flickers of hope still dare to spark,
Amidst the shadows, seeking a brighter day.

Courage whispers gently, urging to rise,
To break the cycle, to reclaim the light,
For even in the darkest of nights,
The dawn will come, bringing new sight.
