Embracing the Shadows

Loneliness wraps around me like a shroud,

A quiet room where shadows are proud.

Echoes of footsteps that never tread,

Silence fills the space where words are said.

In the mirror’s gaze, I search for a friend,

Faces in crowds, yet solitude won’t end.

The night stretches long, an endless sea,

Where dreams of connection are lost to me.

Loneliness, a whisper in the dark,

A hollow ache where warmth should spark.

In the heart’s deep chambers, I find,

A longing for souls intertwined.

Yet in this solitude, I find my space,

A canvas for thoughts, a quiet grace.

Loneliness, though heavy, carves a way,

For self-reflection, where shadows play.

As I journey through this silent night,

I seek the dawn, a distant light.

Loneliness may linger, but with each new day,

I learn to chase its shadows away.
