In the silence of midnight’s embrace,
Shadows whisper secrets untold,
Hearts once entwined now drift in space,
A love once warm, now cold.

Promises shattered like fragile glass,
Lies weave webs of deceit,
Echoes of laughter in the past,
Now replaced by the sound of retreat.

Eyes that once held endless trust,
Now clouded with doubt and despair,
Dreams turned to ashes and dust,
In the wake of an affair.

Yet in the ruins of what was lost,
A spark of hope may still gleam,
For even in betrayal’s cost,
Love can mend and redeem.
