In the silence of night, echoes resound,
Of words unsaid, in shadows profound.
A void where guidance should have been,
Lost in the whispers of a phantom scene.

Seeking solace in the depths of dreams,
Where fatherly love is more than it seems.
A touch, a smile, never to be found,
In the labyrinth of a heart unbound.

The mirror reflects a face unknown,
Searching for roots in a world alone.
Questions linger, answers fade,
In the chasm of memories, an endless parade.

Yet hope arises with each new dawn,
To heal the wounds where love was withdrawn.
A journey of self, to understand and mend,
The broken ties, to find a friend.
