In the shadows where whispers hide,
Lies are woven with threads so thin,
Promises float on a fragile tide,
As truth drowns silently within.

Eyes that once shone with pure delight,
Now clouded by doubt and hidden pain,
Trust, a fragile bird in flight,
Wounded by deception’s chain.

Words once sweet, now taste of ash,
Their echoes haunt the silent night,
Every touch feels like a clash,
In a world stripped of its light.

Yet hope clings to the fraying seams,
That honesty might mend the break,
For love reborn from shattered dreams,
Can heal the heart that lies forsake.
