In shadows deep where sadness lays,
A soul adrift in somber haze.
No laughter dances in the air,
No smiles to find, a vacant stare.

Yet, in this realm of muted cheer,
A lone heart finds solace near.
Embracing pain, a silent song,
In loneliness, it belongs.

No plea for joy, no rescue call,
Content within the lost world's thrall.
A melody of tears composed,
In solitude, the heart enclosed.
