In the quiet corners of my mind,
Shadows whisper secrets of despair,
The night engulfs my fragile heart,
In a cold embrace, I am ensnared.

The weight of silence presses down,
Each breath a struggle, each sigh a plea,
A solitary tear falls unseen,
In the vast abyss of my lonely sea.

Dreams once bright now fade to grey,
Hope slips through my trembling grasp,
The world moves on, oblivious,
To the unseen tears that I clasp.

Yet in this dark, a flicker remains,
A spark of light that dares to fight,
For even in the deepest gloom,
A whisper of dawn can pierce the night.
