Sadness

Casting their weight upon a heart that longs to sleep.

Within the depths of sorrow, echoes softly weep,

A symphony of sadness, a silence buried deep.

Eyes that gaze through teardrops, stained with memories past,

Hold the weight of moments that were never meant to last.

Each heartbeat is a whisper, a ghostly, mournful sigh,

As the stars above grow dimmer, and dreams slowly die.

The world outside is distant, a canvas painted gray,

Where colors fade to nothing and light is swept away.

Footsteps falter, weary, upon a path unknown,

A journey through the darkness, in search of a home.

But within this gloom, a flicker, a fragile spark of hope,

A glimmer in the distance, a way to learn to cope.

For even in the shadows, where sadness reigns supreme,

A sliver of tomorrow glows within the darkest dream.
