The Ballad of a Broken Heart

I walk alone in this endless night,

My heart a heavy burden, out of sight.

The world keeps spinning, while I stand still,

Watching dreams and hopes fade at their will.

No love to give, no love to take,

Just this empty shell, this hollow ache.

The echoes of laughter, they sting my ears,

Reminders of what I'll never know, it seems.

So I'll sing my song, a lullaby of pain,

A testament to the life that I've sustained.

And when it's over, I'll close my eyes,

And wait for the dawn that never arrives
