In the garden where our laughter grew,
Whispers of trust once bloomed bright,
Yet shadows crept with silent steps,
Turning day into endless night.

Promises wrapped in golden threads,
Unraveled by deceit’s cruel hand,
The tapestry of our shared dreams,
Lies torn upon the shifting sand.

Eyes once clear, now clouded with doubt,
A friendship’s heart beats faint and weak,
Where warmth once lived, a chill remains,
Words unspoken, secrets leak.

Yet from this fracture, strength may rise,
Lessons learned in the pain endured,
For though betrayal leaves its mark,
New paths of trust can be assured.
