In the forest of the heart where shadows loom, Grief weeps like willows, under the sullen moon. Fear, a thunderstorm, rattles the brittle bough, While Hope flickers briefly, like the weak dawn glow. Despair winds like ivy, as consuming as the night, Its tendrils choking dreams that once took flight. Rage blazes fierce as a wildfire's bitter burn, Turning all to ashes, with nowhere left to turn. Love, a ghostly wisp in the fog's cold clasp, Slips through trembling fingers, impossible to grasp. Amidst this tangled wild, the heart stands silently, A solitary tree in a desolate valley.
