In the shadowed alley of whispered lies,
Where truth once danced with gentle grace,
A dagger’s gleam in midnight skies,
Cuts the bond time can’t replace.

Promises woven with threads of gold,
Now unravel in the cold night air,
Echoes of trust in stories untold,
Leaving hearts in silent despair.

Eyes that once shone with loyal light,
Now reflect a distant, hollow stare,
The warmth of friendship fades from sight,
Replaced by shadows of a past unfair.

In the silence where whispers dwell,
The ghosts of trust eternally roam,
A tale of betrayal only time can tell,
In the heart’s forsaken home.
