In the silence of the night, tears fall unseen,
The echoes of laughter, just a distant dream,
A heart once vibrant, now shattered and torn,
Lost in the darkness, endlessly forlorn.

Memories of joy, now a painful sting,
Every whispered word, a haunting ring,
The warmth of the past, now a cold embrace,
Life’s cruel jest, a sorrowful chase.

In the depths of despair, hope seems so far,
Like a distant, fading, unreachable star,
The weight of the world, too heavy to bear,
A soul crying out, in silent, deep despair.

Yet in this abyss, a flicker remains,
A fragile light, amidst the chains,
For even in sorrow, a strength is born,
A resilience that will greet the dawn.
