THE ECHOES OF SOLITUDE

In the quiet halls of a weary heart,

Where shadows linger, worlds fall apart.

The silence whispers, a solemn tune,

Beneath the glow of a ghostly moon.

No hand to hold, no voice to hear,

Just fleeting dreams and a well of fear.

The air feels heavy, the nights stretch long,

An endless void where I don’t belong.

The walls close in, the time moves slow,

A hollow rhythm, a ceaseless flow.

Each moment lingers, a weighted sigh,

As stars look down from an empty sky.

Memories dance in a fractured stream,

Faces fade like a fleeting dream.

The laughter echoes, then slips away,

A cruel reminder of brighter days.

Yet in this stillness, a seed may grow,

A tender spark in the undertow.

From barren earth, a bloom can rise,

To reach for light through clouded skies.

For loneliness, though sharp and stark,

Can lead us inward, ignite a spark.

The soul learns strength in its aching song,

And finds its way where it once felt wrong.
