In shadows cast, where hopes once gleamed,
Broken dreams, a shattered seam.
Promises whispered, now torn apart,
In the depths of despair, a heavy heart.

Like fragile glass, dreams did break,
Leaving in their wake a bitter ache.
The future once bright, now fades to gray,
In the silence of night, they slowly decay.

But through the tears and darkest night,
Hope can still emerge, a flickering light.
From the ruins of dreams, new ones may rise,
In the ashes of despair, a phoenix...
