City of Sleepless Symphony

In this city, ablaze with a blinding light,
Each soul knows the struggle of the restless night.
The very glow that promises a vibrant day,
Turns into a glare that chases sleep away.

Some eyes gazing ahead, their future veiled in fear, 
Will hopes take wing, or simply disappear? 
While other eyes linger where old dreams lie broken, 
Lost in the past, a silent, tearful token.

Some eyes now tremble, hoping love will bloom,
To mend the quiet corners of lonely heart's gloom.
Yet other eyes revisit where love couldn't stay, 
Lost in the echoes of a brighter yesterday.

Some eyes yearning to bring childhood's magic anew,
To this city's bright chaos, a dream coming true.
While some only wish they could just turn and flee,
Back to their childhood, wild and carefree.

So in this city, for every flicker, a story silently untold,
Eyes that bear witness, as the night grows old.
