In the shadows where whispers glide,
Lies weave a web, so skillfully tied.
Truths twisted, obscured from sight,
Cloaked in darkness, hidden from light.

Promises spoken with a silvered tongue,
Words that sting, yet softly sung.
Trust shattered, hearts left to bleed,
In the garden of deceit, grows the seed.

Eyes that glimmer with false delight,
Smiles that mask the internal fight.
Betrayal’s kiss, cold as ice,
A heart ensnared, paying the price.

Yet in the dawn, truth’s light will break,
The tangled web will start to shake.
Lies exposed, their power undone,
As shadows flee before the sun.
