Dark clouds hover low
World feels so cold
My heart aches bitterly
Silent cries untold

Lost dreams buried deep
Whispers haunt my sleep
Shadows dance relentless
Soul’s endless weep

Where did the light go
Storms rage inside
Battered by sorrow
Nowhere to hide

Ghosts of love linger
Memories like scars
Pain lingers
Growing
Underneath the stars

Stars once bright faded
In the mist
I'm jaded
Hope's a distant past
Falling into shadows vast

Eyes plead for silence
Winds carry my guilt
Broken
Torn
Relentless
Life’s bitter quilt
