Fading Echoes

Lost in a labyrinth of my own design,
Searching for solace I'll never find.
A void where my heart used to beat,
Cold, lonely nights, on empty streets.

Words like daggers, they pierce my soul,
Leaving me shattered, never whole.
Faces blur, and voices fade,
Into the night, where shadows played.

They tell me to smile, to just be strong,
But they don't know this pain's lifelong.
A battle with darkness, a war with despair,
I'm lost in a world that doesn't care.
