In shadows deep where secrets lie,
A whisper breaks the silent night,
Trust once held now slips away,
As hearts are torn by hidden plight.

The gentle touch that once was pure,
Now tainted by deceit’s cruel hand,
Love’s tender promise fades to gray,
Lost in a maze we cannot stand.

Eyes that once sparkled with shared dreams,
Now clouded by the weight of lies,
In the quiet, the truth is known,
Beneath the mask, the heart denies.

Yet hope persists in broken hearts,
A chance to mend, to start anew,
For love, though wounded, still may rise,
If honesty and trust hold true.
