In the quiet corners where promises fade,
Lies a heart once open, now drawn to shade.
Whispers of kindness turned to silent screams,
As the world unravels its deceitful schemes.

Naive footsteps on a well-trodden path,
Led by the lure of a hidden wrath.
Offering hands now hold the chains,
In the dance of trust where only pain remains.

Eyes that glimmered with hope now see,
The veil of truth in its fragility.
Every smile, a mask, every word, a guise,
In the land of shadows where sincerity dies.

Yet in the echoes of betrayal’s song,
Rises a spirit, resilient and strong.
For in every scar lies a story told,
Of a heart that learns to be bold.
