A Thousand Nights, Alone

A thousand nights I've cried alone,
With no one there to hear the moan
Of agony I hide inside,
The darkness where my fears reside.

I scream into the empty sky,
I beg, I plead, I ask it why—
Why am I cursed to bear this weight,
To carry on in endless hate?

My heart is heavy, my soul is cracked,
And every day feels like attack.
There is no peace, no calm, no rest—
Just sharp claws digging in my chest.

I miss the love I've never known,
A love that makes me feel like home.
But all I get is cold replies,
From empty faces, hollow eyes.

So here I am, a fractured shell,
Trapped in this personal hell.
A thousand nights, a thousand tears,
And no one left to calm my fears.
