Shadows of a Broken Home

Through the quiet of the night, shadows dance 
Across the walls of a once happy home 
Echoes of laughter linger in the air 
But now replaced by silence, heavy and cold

A broken family, torn apart by strife 
Each member adrift in their own sea of sorrow 
The bonds that held them now shattered 
Leaving behind a trail of pain and regret 

The mother, once the heart of the home 
Now sits alone, tears staining her cheeks 
The father, a shadow of his former self 
Lost in a world of anger and despair 

Children caught in the crossfire 
Confusion written on their young faces 
Searching for solace in a world turned upside down 
Their innocence shattered, their hearts broken 

As the night wears on, the stars weep
For a family torn asunder 
Their light dimmed by the darkness of loss 
Leaving behind a void that can never be filled 

In the stillness of the night, a broken family mourns 
Their shattered dreams scattered like dust
In the cold embrace of sadness, they find solace 
For in their grief, they are not alone.
