night’s heart beats  
shadows dance, city lights blur  
melodies whisper  
breeze carries, but i stand still  
unease in the dark  

every beat calls  
notes fine, but story feels far  
rhythm of night  
whispers, but i’m a quiet sea  
lonely silhouette  

passion’s embrace  
heard it’s true, but courage needs a beer  
sunrise, street light  
quiet girl lost in the night  

dancefloor sways  
people spin, music promises new life  
bass vibrates feet  
but mind wanders, finds its own way  
quiet completeness  

morning’s quiet  
day begins, dreams half-formed  
little wins shared  
sunrise, night finally done  

to the nights  
dreams kept close, loneliness hides  
every rhythm  
every song, heart feels like breaking  
quiet, little heart
