In the silence of the night, my eyelids close,
Yet shadows creep and in darkness, they impose.
Dreams shift like smoke, a haunting parade,
Whispers of the past in memories replayed.
You slip through my fingers, a phantom in the night,
A flicker of hope lost in the fading light.
I reach for your essence, but you drift away,
A wisp of nostalgia, just beyond the fray.
Tears fall like rain, a storm in my soul,
Anger and sorrow take their toll.
With you by my side, I could find a way,
To trust in a world that led me astray.
But here in this darkness, I'm left all alone,
A heart full of longing, a mind overthrown.
If only you'd linger, if only you'd stay,
Together we’d face the dawn of a new day.
