In the quiet of the night, I lie awake,
The silence fills the room, my soul to ache,
Each tear that falls, a story left untold,
In the shadows of my heart, emotions unfold.

The echo of your voice, a ghostly sound,
In the corners of my mind, it lingers around,
Memories of laughter, now turned to pain,
In the downpour of sorrow, like relentless rain.

The world outside moves on, unaware,
Of the silent battles, the burdens I bear,
A smile worn like armor, a façade so thin,
Underneath, a storm rages within.

Yet in this sadness, a fragile hope stays,
That one day the darkness will fade away,
And though the heartache, deep and vast,
I’ll find the strength to heal, at last.
