In shadows cast by whispered lies,
A heart once whole begins to fade,
Promises broken, beneath dark skies,
In silent echoes, trust betrayed.

The gentle touch of memories past,
Now stings with every fleeting thought,
A love once cherished, now a distant cast,
In the tangled web of deceit caught.

Tears fall like rain from clouded eyes,
Washing away the dreams we built,
In the depths of sorrow, hope slowly dies,
And leaves behind a haunting guilt.

Yet from the ashes of despair,
Rises strength to mend the heart,
For even in betrayal’s snare,
A new dawn waits, a fresh start.
