the darkened sky stole my tears

The darkened sky stole my tears, Each drop lost in twilight's hush— No echoes left to calm my fears, No breath to break the silence's crush. I wandered roads of hollow stone, Where shadows knew my name, Each heartbeat felt a thundered moan, A whisper wrapped in shame. The stars refused to meet my gaze, The moon turned from my cries, Hope flickered low in ashen haze, A ghost beneath the skies. Yet even as the night grew deep, And sorrow wrote its creed, The world around me did not sleep— It watched, it hurt, it bleed. The darkened sky stole my tears, But not the will to speak. Even broken, the soul still hears A voice, however weak. So if you stand where I once stood, Where pain the daylight veils— Know silent hearts still beat for good, And healing rides the gales.
