Nightmares in a Quiet Place
Amidst the shadows deep and wide,
A lonely feeling creeps inside.
A heart that aches, a soul that’s blue,
They feel so real and ring so true.
The quiet whispers fill the air,
Reminding me of times we shared.
The laughter that echoed, now just a trace,
Leaving behind an empty space.
Stars above, distant, and cold,
Witness to a story untold,
A tapestry of sorry, I’m woven alone,
A masterpiece of melancholy, softly sewn.
Memories come, like waves on the shore,
Moments of joy now felt no more.
But in this solitude, I see,
The chance to grow, to be set free.
Loneliness holds me in its sway,
Yet, it teaches me lessons day by day.
Sadness and pain, they cut like a knife,
But through them, I learn about life.
The night wraps around like a gentle hug,
An unending darkness through which I trudge.
In the embrace of the quiet dark,
I find strength to mend my broken heart.
So, night unfolds its harrowing tale,
I learn to navigate; I learn to sail.
Through solitude’s journey, I’ll find my way,
To a brighter dawn, to a brand-new day.
