In shadows deep where secrets lie,
A whispered truth breaks the night,
Promises made now swept away,
In the cold embrace of a fading light.

Once a bond, a sacred vow,
Now torn asunder by deceit’s cruel hand,
The heart aches with silent cries,
Lost in a world we cannot understand.

Dreams once bright now dim and gray,
Trust shattered like fragile glass,
The echoes of laughter now distant,
Haunting memories of a joyful past.

Yet in the silence, strength is found,
A flicker of hope in the darkest hour,
For even in betrayal’s shadowed land,
The heart can rise with newfound power.
