In the quiet chambers of my heart,
Where echoes of laughter have long departed,
I sit with shadows as my only friends,
In the silence that never seems to end.

The world outside feels distant and cold,
Yet within these walls, stories unfold,
Of dreams once bright, now faded and gray,
In the solitude that marks the day.

I walk along paths where whispers reside,
In the corners where my fears like to hide,
Seeking solace in the stars above,
Yet finding none, only longing for love.

The night wraps its arms around my soul,
A cloak of darkness, making me whole,
For in this loneliness, I find a part,
Of the endless journey within my heart.
