In the depths of night, a quiet call,
A soothing voice that lures and binds,
Whispers echo through the soul’s hall,
In shadows, the heart’s freedom unwinds.

The dance begins, a seductive sway,
Promises of solace, fleeting and sweet,
Each step forward, a price to pay,
In the web of longing, dreams retreat.

Eyes wide open, yet visions blur,
Reality bends, a distorted view,
In the craving’s grip, thoughts stir,
Bound to the chains of what we pursue.

Will the dawn bring a gentle release,
Or further entangle this fragile state?
Seeking solace, a moment’s peace,
In the silent battle we silently debate.
