In the quiet corners of my heart,
Lies the echo of dreams once bright,
Like stars that fade before dawn’s light,
Lost in the shadows, torn apart.
Promises woven in delicate threads,
Now unravel in the cold night’s air,
Leaving behind a lingering despair,
Words unspoken, tears unshed.
Hopes that soared on wings of desire,
Grounded by the weight of wistful sighs,
In the silence, a thousand goodbyes,
Burn in the remnants of a dying fire.
Yet in this darkness, a flicker remains,
A whispered promise of a new dawn,
Through the ashes, a path is drawn,
Beyond the shadows, beyond the chains.
