Whispered words that dance on air,
Promises made with no intent to care,
Eyes that sparkle with practiced grace,
Hiding a heart in a cold, distant place.
Laughter shared, a fleeting delight,
Masking shadows in the dead of night,
Touches gentle, yet void of truth,
An empty echo of love’s sweet youth.
The facade crumbles, the truth lays bare,
A broken heart left in despair,
The pain of knowing, the sting of lies,
Beneath the surface, a love that dies.
Yet hope remains, a flicker bright,
To find a love that’s pure and right,
Beyond the shadows, in the light,
A true affection, shining, white.
