In the shadows of your smile, there lies a hidden pain,
Promises whispered softly, but love was just a feigned,
Your touch, a fleeting phantom, a ghost within the night,
The warmth I thought was real, dissolved in morning light.

Eyes that sparkled brightly, yet void of true desire,
Words that kindled briefly, but never sparked a fire,
Your kisses, sweet illusions, like petals in the breeze,
Left me yearning, searching, for a love that never sees.

The emptiness resounded, in every silent sigh,
A dance of false affection, beneath a painted sky,
Your laughter, hollow echoes, in chambers of my heart,
A masquerade of feelings, that tore my soul apart.

Now I stand in twilight, the truth a bitter sting,
The love I thought was golden, was but a tarnished ring,
I bid farewell to shadows, to dreams that were untrue,
And seek a love that’s honest, in skies of clearer blue.
