Symphony of solitude

In shadows deep, where silence reigns,
A solitary heart, its song sustains.
A whispered lament in the dead of night,
Loneliness, my constant plight.

I wander through a barren land,
With empty eyes and trembling hand,
In search of solace, a friendly face,
But solitude clings, an unyielding embrace.

The moon above, a pale, cold sphere,
Casts ghostly light, a mournful seer,
It mirrors the ache within my soul,
As endless waves of loneliness roll.

In this desolate realm, I am adrift,
A solitary vessel, no course to lift,
Through stormy seas of self-doubt and fear,
Loneliness whispers, no one is near.

I hear the echoes of my own despair,
A haunting melody, a woeful air,
A symphony of solitude, a mournful tune,
As I wander beneath the silent moon.

The stars above, they mock and tease,
Their distant glow, a cruel tease,
For in their brilliance, I find no kin,
Just distant, untouchable, cosmic sin.

Oh, the struggles of this lonely heart,
A symphony of pain, a work of art,
Yet within the depths of my solitude,
I seek the strength to renew and rebuild.

Loneliness, a crucible, forging the soul,
A journey through darkness, to reach the goal,
To find connection, to break the chains,
And banish the echoes of endless pains.

For even in solitude’s darkest night,
There shines a glimmer of inner light,
A spark of hope, a resilient flame,
That whispers softly, you’re not the same.

In this struggle, I find my way,
To brighter dawns, to a brand new day,
For loneliness may wound, may scar and sting,
But from its depths, the heart can still sing.
