In the silence of the night, when all is still,
I close my eyes, and in my mind, I feel
A place of solace, once my favorite retreat,
Now a distant memory, bittersweet.
A person dear, left behind in time,
Their absence now a haunting chime.
Once, laughter flowed like a gentle stream,
Now stifled, lost in a silent dream.
In days gone by, thoughts were free,
No need to justify, no scrutiny.
Conversations held with ease,
Now a longing, a silent plea.
Locked in a cage of my own making,
Alone with thoughts, endlessly aching.
No one to share, no one to hear,
Trapped in solitude, drowning in fear.
But hope flickers like a distant flame,
Perhaps tomorrow, I'll break this chain.
Released from this icy prison, I'll roam free,
To see the ones I miss, to be me.
In this empty life, a question lies,
Will I ever break this ice, this disguise?
With each passing day, I hold onto hope,
That one day soon, I'll find a way to cope.
