The shadowed hours, a silent, endless stream,
Where weary thoughts like restless shadows gleam.
My mind, a storm, both tempestuous and deep,
Insomnia's grip, a sorrow I must keep.

Bipolar's swing, a pendulum's harsh beat,
From manic highs to depths of darkest heat.
Depression's cloak, a heavy, somber shroud,
Where hope's faint ember, almost choked, is bowed.

The clock ticks on, a relentless, hollow sound,
As darkness lingers, all around, profound.
My weary eyes, they yearn for morning's light,
But shadows dance, and steal the fading night.

The world outside, a vibrant, joyful scene,
While I'm adrift, a prisoner unseen.
A silent scream, a whispered, hollow plea,
For solace's touch, for liberty.

These warring moods, a tempest in my soul,
A fragile balance, losing its control.
The silent fight, the battle waged within,
A constant struggle, where I'm almost thinned.

Yet still, I yearn, for moments bright and clear,
To banish darkness, and dispel the fear.
To find the strength, to rise above the pain,
And conquer shadows, and reclaim the reign.

Oh, weary soul, lost in the night's embrace,
May dawn's soft light, bring solace and grace.
And in the quiet, when the storm subsides,
May healing touch, and hope, be my guides.
Upon the midnight's cloak, my hands did stain,  
In careless whisper lost, the shadowed breath,  
A fellow soul slipped through the darkened lane,  
Unwitting bearer of my flawed bequeath.  

With every mournful hour, I reap my sin,  
Each pulse a haunting bell that tolls for thee,  
In dreams your visage dances round within,  
Yet time's cruel hand denies what’s meant to be.  

I drown in sorrow's tide—a grave of thought,  
Tangled in threads of love and veiled despair;  
For thou art dust where once my heart was wrought,  
Yet death unveiled a path to darkness rare.  

When last I sought release from haunting plight,  
Thy soul reborn slips through the veil of night.

With each heartbeat, a sorrowful toll,  
As dreams disperse like the leaves that fall,  
The specter of death in the twilight's embrace,  
Hovers near in this desolate place.  

A dance of shadows on gravestones worn,  
Each moment cherished may turn to scorn;  
For life is but dust in the coldest breeze,  
A tale written down with forgotten pleas.  

We walk through valleys where echoes won't fade,  
Chasing lost hopes in the twilight shade.  
In darkness we linger, and what do we find?  
Only shadows that echo a heart left behind.
