In shadows deep, where sunlight fades,
A silent foe, from the darkest realm invades
A cruel touch hollows the soul within,
Echos of words untold, where the nightmares begin
The heart is heavy, burdened by its dread,
Turmoil of tangled thoughts like webs are spread
The day blends into treacherous and long night,
No laughter, no clear sky, no colours bright
Yet in the heart, a flame does burn,
A spirit fierce, with strength to yearn
A hand that reaches out can guide the way,
To light a torch and chase the dark away
Even in the shadows, there's a spark,
A promise that there lies a brighter arc.
