In the depths of despair, where shadows roam
Free from the chains of pride, I find my way back home
The stench of regret, a pungent smell
That clings to me, a constant reminder to dwell
On the what-ifs, the maybes, the could-haves
The ghosts of love, of loss, of shattered dreams that wave
In the silence, I hear my heart
A melancholy lullaby, a mournful work of art
The darkness whispers secrets, of a life unlived
A bittersweet reminder, of the choices I’ve given
In the stillness, I find my voice
A whispered promise, to make a different choice
To rise above, to shatter the pain
To find solace, in the love that remains
