Symphony of Emotions

Betrayal 3

In shadows deep, where trust was once held high, 

A tale of betrayal, I now shall apply. 

With words woven, like daggers they slice, 

A heart torn asunder, a soul paid the price.

In friendship's embrace, a bond thought secure, 

A whispered promise, forever endure. 

But treachery lurked, unseen and sly, 

A venomous seed planted, ready to defy.

Betrayal's venom, a poison unseen, 

Leaves scars so deep, where trust had been. 

Like a serpent's strike, it strikes without a sound, 

Leaving shattered pieces scattered on the ground.

A trusted confidant, turned to deceit, 

A mask of loyalty, hiding a heart's retreat. 

Secrets divulged, in a whispered breath, 

The bond shattered, a friendship met with death.

Oh, the pain of betrayal, a bitter pill to swallow, 

Leaving the betrayed, lost in sorrow. 

The wound runs deep, through every vein, 

A haunting reminder of trust's cruel stain.

But rise, oh wounded heart, from the depths so low, 

For in healing's embrace, strength shall grow. 

Forgiveness may come, like a gentle rain, 

Washing away the remnants of the pain.

For in the face of betrayal, lessons are learned, 

To choose wisely, who in our hearts we've earned. 

Guarded, yet open, in love and in strife, 

To find solace in those who bring light to life.

So let us not dwell on betrayal's sting, 

But rise above, with wisdom we bring. 

For in the ashes of betrayal's fire, 

We forge resilience, a spirit that won't tire.

And in the end, though trust may wane, 

Our hearts, resilient, shall rise again. 

For in the vast tapestry of life's grand design, 

Betrayal, a chapter, but not the final line.
