In shadows cast by love’s deceit,
We danced on shards of broken dreams,
A toxic tale of hearts that bleed,
In silence, torn at fragile seams.

Your words, like venom, pierced my soul,
A web of lies, a tangled snare,
I fought to breathe, to find control,
Yet suffocated by despair.

The love we shared, a fleeting ghost,
An illusion wrapped in bitter chains,
Each touch, a wound that hurt the most,
As trust eroded, leaving stains.

Now free from shadows, I reclaim,
The strength within to heal and grow,
From toxic whispers, I abstain,
And let the light of truth bestow.
