Burdened by thoughts

In the stillness of 2:00 a.m., a lonely man stands,
Amidst the shadows, his soul aching, his heart's demands.
The world sleeps, but he remains awake, burdened by thoughts,
Echoes of solitude haunt him, as the night slowly trots.

Silent streets bear witness to his quiet despair,
In his eyes, a glimmer of longing, an unanswered prayer.
Lost in reverie, memories flicker like distant stars,
Each one a reminder of love's embrace, now afar.

His footsteps echo softly, a solitary sound,
Treading the path of solitude, he's outward bound.
Yet beneath the veil of darkness, he hopes to find,
A connection, a kindred spirit, a soul to bind.

But for now, he roams the city's deserted lanes,
An enigma to the world, a man burdened by his pains.
In the embrace of night, he seeks solace and release,
At 2:00 a.m., he faces the silence, seeking inner peace.
