In the quiet shadow of the night,
Where whispers of sorrow take flight,
A soul drifts in the sea of despair,
Seeking solace in the cold, empty air.

The stars above seem distant and cold,
As dreams of warmth and love unfold,
Yet the heart beats with a heavy thrum,
In a world where the light seems numb.

The echoes of laughter, a distant sound,
Lost in the solitude that surrounds,
Tears fall silently, like rain in the dark,
Leaving an indelible mark.

But within the depths of this drear,
Lies a spark that refuses to disappear,
A hope that one day, light will pierce through,
And paint the sky in a brighter hue.
