In the garden where our laughter grew,
Lies the shadow of a promise, now untrue.
The whispers of the wind carry tales,
Of shattered dreams and broken sails.

Once we walked on paths of gold,
With stories shared and secrets told.
But now the silence speaks so loud,
Beneath a sky once free of cloud.

The stars that guided us through night,
Now dimmed by the absence of light.
A friendship lost to time’s cruel hand,
Drifting like footprints in the sand.

Yet in the echoes of what remains,
Linger the lessons and the pains.
Through betrayal’s harsh, unyielding song,
We find the strength to move along.
