Fading Embers

In shadows deep, despair takes hold,

A haunting tale of truths untold.

Beneath the weight, the soul does break,

In anguish, lost, a heartache's ache.

In whispers bleak, hope dwindles low,

As tears cascade, they cease to flow.

The mirthless void, a solemn stage,

Where dreams lie shattered, trapped in cage.

Despair's cruel grip, a ruthless tide,

Engulfs the spirit, joy denied.

Yet through the gloom, a flicker gleams,

A glimpse of light within our dreams.

For in despair, resilience thrives,

A phoenix rises, as hope revives.

With every breath, a chance to mend,

To find solace, and wounds transcend.

"Fading Embers," a testament dire,

To depths of despair, and souls afire.
