shattered dreams

In your eyes, I found my light, A beacon in the darkest night. We danced in dreams of love so true, In every breath, I thought of you. Your touch, so tender, seemed sincere, A promise whispered in my ear. With every smile, I fell deeper still, Believing in your loving will. But shadows hid beneath your kiss, In moments filled with fleeting bliss. Your words, like honey, sweetly spun, Concealed the truth I dared to shun. I gave my all, my heart, my soul, To fill a void, to make us whole. Yet in your arms, a lie took form, A love I thought would keep me warm. One day, the mask you wore slipped free, Revealing what you hid from me. Your heart was never mine to keep, A secret buried dark and deep. You never loved me, never cared, Your empty heart left mine ensnared. The dreams we built, now lie in shards, A love that left me deeply scarred. I stand alone, in quiet despair, In the ruins of a love unfair. Your memory, a haunting ache, A bitter pill I can't forsake. Yet from this pain, I'll rise anew, A phoenix from the ashes blue. I'll mend my heart, piece by piece, And find a love that brings me peace. For though you've torn my world apart, I’ll carry on with steadfast heart. I'll seek a love that's pure and
