In the golden days of youth and light,
We walked the paths of dreams so bright.
Hand in hand, with hearts so pure,
Promises made, forever to endure.

Yet time unveiled a darker shade,
Trust shattered, and memories fade.
Words once sweet turned bitter cold,
As stories of betrayal unfold.

The bond we cherished turned to dust,
In the wake of broken trust.
Echoes of laughter now seem far,
Beneath the weight of a hidden scar.

But from the ruins, strength I gain,
To rise above the lingering pain.
Though shadows cast a somber hue,
I find the light to start anew.
