Betrayed by the Ones She trusted

 In the quiet corners of her heart,   

whispers danced like shadows,   

the laughter of friends,   

twisting like vines around trust.   

 

Promises made in sunlight,   

and the warmth of shared dreams,   

they glimmered like stars,   

but the night turned cold.   

 

One by one, they unraveled,   

each word a sharpened edge,   

each glance a shiver of doubt,   

the familiar faces now masked.   

 

Betrayed by the ones she trusted,   

the ones who wore her joy,   

like crowns of flowers,   

now those petals lay crushed.   

 

She wandered through the memories,   

each moment a splinter,   

each smile a ghost,   

echoing of laughter and loss.   

 

Yet in the silence,   

a new strength began to form,   

like a seed pushing through stone,   

resilient, reborn in the dark.   

 

From ashes of betrayal,   

hope began to bloom,   

not all was lost in the shadows,   

light would find its way again.
