The night descends, a silent veil,
Stars above, indifferent and pale.
In the quiet of the house, a haunting trance,
Loneliness takes the lead, a solemn dance.

Beneath the roof, where echoes hide,
Memories of laughter, side by side.
The walls remember, they hold the past,
In the silence, the shadows are cast.

In the silence of an empty house,
Loneliness breathes, quiet as a mouse.
Echoes of laughter, now faded and thin,
Memories linger where life had once been.

Silence reigns, a hollow guest,
The heart's ache, it won't rest.
In the stillness, shadows stretch long,
Lonely nights sing their mournful song.

Tears fall, silent and bright,
Split the heart, defying the night.
The soul crackles, the mind responds,
Loneliness's grip, with an unbreakable bond.
