In shadows deep, where silence weeps,
I lost myself in endless sleeps,
A soul once bright, now dimmed and gray,
In amber’s grip, I slipped away.
Each sip I took, a dream would fade,
A future bright, by darkness swayed,
The laughter gone, replaced by tears,
Consumed by all my hidden fears.
The days blurred into endless nights,
Where hope once lived, now only fights,
A mind enslaved, a heart in chains,
In liquid fire, I sought remains.
Once steady hands now only shake,
As every promise starts to break,
In mirrors cracked, I see a ghost,
A hollow shell of what I’ve lost.
My loved ones drift like autumn leaves,
Their whispered prayers, their silent grieves,
For in the glass, a storm would brew,
Consuming all I ever knew.
Yet deep inside, a spark remains,
A whispered plea through binding chains,
For every fall, a chance to rise,
To chase away these clouded skies.
But until then, the night prevails,
With tales of woe, with mournful wails,
Of how I fell to amber’s kiss,
Of all the love and life I miss.
