In shadows deep, where trust begins to wane,
A specter haunts the bonds we once held dear.
The heart, deceived, feels the enduring pain,
As whispers of betrayal linger near.

A subtle glance, a clandestine affair,
The roots of falsehood slowly intertwine.
Love's tender bloom replaced by cold despair,
As faith erodes, a fracture in love's design.

Yet, should deceit eclipse the guiding light,
The wounded heart must face a harsh rebirth.
To mend the cracks, to set the wrongs aright,
Requires the courage to unearth.

In love's true essence, honesty must reign,
For cheating's echo leaves a lasting stain.
