In the mirror, a reflection fades,
A visage once bright, now marred by shades.
Whispers of love turned into chains,
Binding the heart, leaving only pains.
Promises like stars, scattered and cold,
Dreams once vibrant, now withered and old.
A voice so sweet, yet laced with lies,
Beneath the surface, a monster in disguise.
The light within, slowly dimmed to gray,
Under the weight of words they say.
A soul once free, now trapped in fear,
In the silence, only echoes near.
Yet from the ashes, a phoenix will rise,
Breaking the mirror of deceit and lies.
Finding strength in the shattered glass,
Reclaiming the self, no longer an outcast.
