The Black Day

The Sun forgot to rise today
Shadows linger where light once stayed
The clock ticks loud in an empty room
Each second echoes a haunting tune

A photograph falls from my trembling hand
A ghost of a life I can't understand
The silence screams, it fills the air
I reach for you, but you're not there

It's a black day, the darkest I've known
Every step feels colder, though I walk alone
The sky caves in, the earth won't breathe
A void inside too deep to leave

The mirror shows a stranger's face
Eyes lost in a hollow, endless space
What am I now? Who was I before?
A thousand questions with no open door

I write your name in the frost on the glass
But it melts away, like all things that pass
The weight of the world pulls me below
Still, I wonder how far I must go

It's a black day, the darkest I've known
Every step feels colder, though I walk alone
The sky caves in, the earth won't breathe
A void inside too deep to leave

It's a black day, but I raise my eyes
Through the ashes, I search the skies
The air is heavy, the pain still stings
But somewhere distant, a new light clings
