In the shadow of the fading light, I stand,
Where echoes of laughter now weep in silence,
A heart once vibrant now drifts in the night,
Searching for solace in the depths of absence.

The stars above, indifferent to my plight,
Glimmer faintly through the veil of tears,
Each tear a fragment of a broken dream,
Falling gently into the chasm of fears.

The wind carries whispers of forgotten joy,
Like a lullaby lost in the ravages of time,
Yet, in the stillness, I find a somber peace,
In the embrace of solitude, I silently resign.

Through the darkness, I tread alone,
A path woven with threads of despair,
Yet, even in sorrow, I find my strength,
In the quiet resolve of a heart laid bare.
