Each morning breaks with the sun’s cruel light, I rise to a world that feels heavy and bright. I hope for the night, for sweet, endless sleep, To close my eyes tight, to bury my grief deep. The day stretches on, like a long, empty road, With thoughts of her lingering, a burdensome load. I wear a brave face, but inside I just ache, Counting the hours until the night I can take. As twilight descends, I find solace in dreams, In shadows of memories, where nothing is as it seems. I drift into slumber, her laughter in my mind, In the realm of the night, I leave all pain behind. But dawn breaks again, with its unforgiving glare, And I wake to the silence, the weight of despair. Each morning I hope for the night to return, To escape from my heart, to unlearn and to yearn. I wish for the hours to fade into dark, To find peace in the stillness, to reignite a spark. So I dance with the shadows, through this endless charade, Hoping for sleep, in this cycle I wade.

"Cycle of Shadows"
Each morning breaks with the sun’s cruel light, I rise to a world that feels heavy and bright. I hope for the night, for sweet, endless sleep, To close my eyes tight, to bury my grief deep. The day stretches on, like a long, empty road, With thoughts of her lingering, a burdensome load. I wear a brave face, but inside I just ache, Counting the hours until the night I can take. As twilight descends, I find solace in dreams, In shadows of memories, where nothing is as it seems. I drift into slumber, her laughter in my mind, In the realm of the night, I leave all pain behind. But dawn breaks again, with its unforgiving glare, And I wake to the silence, the weight of despair. Each morning I hope for the night to return, To escape from my heart, to unlearn and to yearn. I wish for the hours to fade into dark, To find peace in the stillness, to reignite a spark. So I dance with the shadows, through this endless charade, Hoping for sleep, in this cycle I wade.
