In shadows deep, where silence lies,  
A heart beats slow, with quiet sighs.  
No tender touch, no warm embrace,  
Just empty nights and hollow days.  

They search for love in fleeting smiles,  
In passing glances, distant miles.  
Each whispered word, a fragile thread,  
A lifeline for the soul unfed.  

The world spins on, but time stands still,  
For hearts that ache, for wounds that chill.  
No fairy tale to light their way,  
Just memories that fade to gray.  

There are plenty of ways to die,  
But only love can **** and keep you alive to feel it.  
And still they hope, and still they yearn,  
For love to spark, for fire to burn.  

But in the dark, they come to know,  
The lack of love is all they own.
