In the silence of whispered vows,
Lies the echo of a heart untrue,
Promises woven like a fragile shroud,
Cloaked in shadows, concealing the view.

Beneath the gleam of a fleeting smile,
Lurks the chill of a heart’s deceit,
A masquerade danced in grandiose style,
Yet hollow steps echo incomplete.

The warmth of touch, a fleeting guise,
Yet coldness creeps through tender seams,
In the gaze of those deceiving eyes,
Lies a void where love should gleam.

Now the veil falls, truth’s stark reveal,
The facade crumbles, dust to the ground,
False love’s echo, a fading peal,
Leaves only silence, profound and unbound.
