The night whispers secrets of the lost,
Shadows dance with unrestrained cost.
Within the veins, a fire that burns,
A soul that endlessly yearns.

Veiled in promises, dreams once bright,
Now shrouded in an eternal night.
Echoes of laughter, now distant cries,
Bound by the chains of silent lies.

Eyes that search for the fleeting light,
In a world consumed by endless fight.
Each breath a struggle, each step a test,
In the heart, an unyielding quest.

Yet hope lingers in the darkest place,
A spark that refuses to erase.
For within the storm, a calm remains,
Whispering freedom from the silent chains.
