In a world where shadows whisper lies,
Trust becomes a fragile dance,
Between the echoes of broken promises,
And the hope for a chance.
The heart, once open, now cautious,
Guarded by walls built high,
Seeking truth in gentle whispers,
Yet fearing the silent goodbye.
Eyes that search for sincerity,
Amidst faces veiled in disguise,
A journey through the unknown,
Where trust often meets demise.
Still, in the quiet moments,
A flicker of faith remains,
A belief in the goodness around,
Despite the haunting chains.
