In the quiet of the night, tears fall unseen,
Bruises hidden beneath a fragile veneer,
Whispers of pain in a home once serene,
A heart shattered, living in constant fear.
Silent cries echo through the hollow halls,
Echoes of love now lost in the abyss,
Shadows dance on the cold, lifeless walls,
A life once whole, now fractured by a fist.
The mask of normalcy, a heavy disguise,
Concealing the torment behind closed doors,
Dreams of escape in tear-filled eyes,
Wishing for peace, freedom from the wars.
Yet hope flickers in the darkest of nights,
A spark of strength to break the chains,
To rise above, reclaim the light,
And heal the soul from all the pains.
