In the depths of night, shadows creep,
Whispers of sorrow, secrets we keep,
Tears fall silently, a silent plea,
For solace, for peace, for a heart set free.

Memories linger, bittersweet and cold,
Stories untold, wounds that never grow old,
Embracing the silence, feeling the sting,
Of a heart that yearns, but finds no wing.

Loneliness wraps its arms around tight,
In the darkness, there is no light,
A soul adrift in a sea of despair,
Seeking comfort, a gentle care.

Yet hope flickers, a distant star,
Guiding the weary, no matter how far,
Through the pain, the tears, the endless night,
Towards a dawn, a future bright.
