In shadows deep, where darkness dwells,
A tale unfolds, where sadness swells.
A world of gloom, where light has fled,
I'll paint for you a poem, as you've said.

Beneath a moonless sky, devoid of stars,
Lost souls wander, bearing heavy scars.
Whispers echo in the chilling breeze,
Carrying tales of sorrow, if you please.

The trees, like skeletal fingers, reach above,
Their branches weeping, mourning lost love.
Silent tears fall from the somber sky,
As sadness weaves...
