In shadows of love, I once found solace,
But now I stand in heartbreak’s embrace.
A tale of betrayal, my soul left shattered
As love’s sweet melody turns bitter and tattered.
***
Once, your affection was a flame so bright,
But now it flickers, consumed by the night.
In disbelief, I watch our love erode
As secrets unravel, truths are now bestowed.
***
Tears stain my cheeks, a river of pain
For love’s betrayal leaves an eternal stain.
How could you wander, my heart’s trusted guide?
Into the arms of another, casting me aside?
***
The whispers of deceit, they cut so deep,
As trust crumbles, a wound that won’t sleep.
In the wreckage of love, I search for reasons
But find only echoes of love’s faded seasons.
***
Yet, through this heartbreak, I’ll rise anew,
Reclaiming my spirit, bidding love adieu.
For I deserve a love that’s pure, untamed,
Not one tainted by deceit falsely claimed.
***
So, I’ll heal the wounds, stitch up the pain,
Learn to love myself, and rise again.
Though scars may linger, I’ll find my way,
And let heartbreak’s darkness turn to brighter days.
***
For in the depths of loss, I’ll find my might
And from this heartbreak, I’ll take flight.
No longer bound by love’s treacherous game,
I’ll soar beyond the ashes, reclaiming my flame.
***
