"Echoes of Illusion"
#WritcoPoemPrompt48
In shadows cast by hopeful dreams,
I wove a tale of splendid schemes,
Where rose-tinted hues adorned my sight,
And visions danced in golden light.
Yet whispers crept of truth concealed,
Beneath the surface, lies revealed,
A crack in the façade, a glimpse of flaw,
As illusions crumbled, my heart felt raw.
The one I deemed a shining star,
Turned out to be a mask, a scar,
Beneath the charm, a darker guise,
Betraying trust, unveiling lies.
The castle built on shifting sand,
Collapsed beneath my trembling hand,
The fantasy shattered, reality's sting,
As shards of truth cut deep within.
Yet from the ruins, strength arose,
A phoenix from the ashes glows,
For in the rubble, I found my truth,
And learned to mend, rebuild, and soothe.
So let illusions fade and fall,
For in their wake, we stand tall,
Embracing scars, embracing woe,
For shattered dreams, new seeds can sow.
