In shadows where the whispers play,
A love that never meant to stay,
Promises like fragile glass,
Shattered dreams that come to pass.
Hearts entangled in a web of lies,
Beneath the surface, truth belies,
The smile that hides the aching soul,
A hollow love that takes its toll.
Eyes that shine with counterfeit light,
A masquerade beneath the night,
Tender words that lose their grace,
Vanishing into empty space.
Yet even in this charade of pain,
Lessons linger, wisdom gained,
For love that’s true will never fade,
In its embrace, we are remade.
