In shadows deep, where trust did dwell,
A tale unfolds, a bitter swell.
Promises whispered, like a sweet refrain,
Yet betrayal's poison seeps, causing pain.

Eyes that sparkled, once sincere,
Now hold the shards of a bond unclear.
A dance of shadows, deceit's cruel art,
Leaving wounds etched upon the heart.

Betrayal wears a treacherous guise,
Veiled in friendship's soft disguise.
Words once golden, now tarnished lies,
Echoing pain beneath the betrayed skies.

Yet strength arises from the shattered trust,
A phoenix born from the ashes, it must.
The betrayed, resilient, will find their way,
In the light of truth, where shadows sway.
