Whispers of Solitude

★★★ In the silence, whispers creep, Echoes of the thoughts I keep. Alone, yet surrounded by the sound, Of emptiness where dreams are drowned. The world spins on, a constant blur, But here I stand, a quiet stir. Faces pass, but none I know, Loneliness is my shadow's glow. Stars above, but none so near, A distant light, a fleeting tear. I reach for warmth, but find it cold, A heart that's young, yet growing old. Solitude, my constant friend, Will you stay until the end? In your embrace, I learn to fly, Yet wonder why I still must cry.
