In shadows deep, a woman weeps,
With kitten small, who softly sleeps.
Her mind a tempest, thoughts a race,
Insomnia's grip, her nightly chase.

A week and more, she's not known rest,
Her weary eyes, by tears oppressed.
She shuns the world, seeks solitude,
Yet yearns for solace, misunderstood.

A text intrudes, from someone past,
Her heart recoils, memories amassed.
Frantic, she tries to push away,
But persistence lingers, will not sway.

Reluctant steps, she starts to speak,
Her barriers weaken, voice not meek.

His presence soothes, dispels the night.

With gentle words, he calms her storm,
And in his presence, she feels warm.
Amidst an afternoon's soft embrace,
She finds her peace, in dream's sweet grace.

Awakening anew, she sees the dawn,
A path before, a journey drawn.
Crossing paths, their fates entwined,
facing what they find...
