In silence deep, the shadows creep,
Each ticking second, a promise to keep.
With aching hearts, we long for light,
Yet time drags on, lost in the night.

Dreams linger softly, just out of reach,
Lessons in waiting, the heart’s quiet breach.
Hope flickers dimly, like a candle’s glow,
In the depths of longing, the tears start to flow.

Through every struggle, we learn to bear,
The weight of patience, a heavy wear.
Yet in this sorrow, we quietly find,
A bittersweet strength, a resilient mind.
