Beneath the shadowed veil of night,
Lies a heart that’s torn and weary,
Wounds unseen, yet burning bright,
In the silence, life grows dreary.

Each breath is laced with whispered pain,
A ghostly echo in the still,
Tears that fall like gentle rain,
On a soul that time can’t heal.

The world moves on, a blur of light,
As shadows dance in cruel delight,
A silent scream within the fight,
To find the dawn, escape the night.

Yet in the darkness, hope does gleam,
A fragile thread, a distant dream,
That through the pain, life’s broken seam,
Will one day mend, or so it seems.
